The phylum Actinobacteria harbors many important human pathogens and also provides
one of the richest sources of natural products, including numerous antibiotics and other …

The application of phylogenetic taxonomic procedures led to improvements in the
classification of bacteria assigned to the phylum Actinobacteria but even so there remains a …

Actinobacteria constitute one of the largest phyla among Bacteria and represent gram-
positive bacteria with a high G+ C content in their DNA. This bacterial group includes …

Genome analysis is one of the main criteria for description of new taxa. Availability of
genome sequences for all the actinobacteria with a valid nomenclature will, however …

The higher ranks of the class Actinobacteria were proposed and described in 1997. At each
rank, the taxa were delineated from each other solely on the basis of 16S rRNA gene …

This revised road map and the resulting taxonomic outline update the previous versions of
Garrity and Holt (2001) and Garrity et al.(2005) with the description of additional taxa and …

The phylogeny of the class Actinobacteria remains controversial, essentially because it is
very sensitive to the choice of dataset and phylogenetic methods. We used a test proposed …

A new hierarchic classification structure for the taxa between the taxonomic levels of genus
and class is Proposed for the actinomycete line of descent as defined by analysis of small …

Gram-positive bacteria with a high G+ C content are currently recognized as a distinct
phylum, Actinobacteria, on the basis of their branching in 16S rRNA trees. Except for an …

During the past 25 years, comparative analysis of sequences of homologous and genetically
stable semantides has demonstrated that several classification systems based on …
