Actinobacteria / Actinobacteria / Micrococcales / Microbacteriaceae / Subtercola

Short irregular rods, 0.2–0.4 × 0.6–1.6 µm, often occurring singly or in v-forms. Gram-stain-positive. Nonencapsulated. Nonmotile. Nonsporeforming. Aerobic. The colonies are circular, convex, smooth, and pale to bright yellow, depending on the medium. Growth occurs best at 15–17°C, but is also observed in the temperature range 2–28°C. The cell-wall diamino acid is diamino butyric acid (DAB). The main cell-wall amino acids are alanine, glycine, threo -3-hydroxy-glutamic acid, and DAB. The peptidoglycan type is B2γ. The polar lipids are phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, one unknown phospholipid, and two glycolipids. The main cellular fatty acids are 12-methyltetradecanoic acid (C_15:0 anteiso), 14-methylpentadecanoic acid (C_16:0 iso), and 14-methylhexadecanoic acid (C_17:0 anteiso). The whole-cell methanolysates of Subtercola species contain 1,1-dimethoxy-anteiso-pentadecane (C _15:0 anteiso DMA) and 1,1-dimethoxy-iso-hexadecane (C _16:0 iso DMA) as major components in amounts comparable to those of fatty acids. No mycolic acids are present. The major isoprenoic quinones are MK-9 and MK-10.

DNA G+C content (mol%): 64–68.

Type species: Subtercola boreus Männistö, Schumann, Rainey, Kämpfer, Tsitko, Tiirola and Salkinoja-Salonen 2000, 1737^VP.
