Actinomycetaceae
The Actinomycetaceae (often called actinomycetes or mycelial bacteria) are a family of bacteria in the order Actinomycetales that contains the medically important genus ''Actinomyces''. These organisms are closely related to the mycobacteria, but were originally classified as fungi because they were thought to be transitional forms between bacteria and fungi. Genera The family ''Actinomycetaceae'' comprises the following genera: * '' Actinobaculum'' Lawson et al. 1997 * "'' Actinomonospora''" Castellani et al. 1959 * ''Actinomyces'' Harz 1877 (Approved Lists 1980) * '' Actinotignum'' Yassin et al. 2015 * "'' Ancrocorticia''" Xu et al. 2019 * ''Arcanobacterium'' Collins et al. 1983 * '' Boudabousia'' Nouioui et al. 2018 * '' Bowdeniella'' corrig. Nouioui et al. 2018 * '' Buchananella'' Nouioui et al. 2018 * '' Flaviflexus'' Du et al. 2013 * '' Fudania'' Zhu et al. 2019 * '' Gleimia'' Nouioui et al. 2018 * ''Mobiluncus'' Spiegel and Roberts 1984 * "'' Neoactinobaculum''" Belkace ...

Actinomycetales
The Actinomycetales is an order of Actinomycetota. A member of the order is often called an actinomycete. Actinomycetales are generally gram-positive and anaerobic and have mycelia in a filamentous and branching growth pattern. Some actinomycetes can form rod- or coccoid-shaped forms, while others can form spores on aerial hyphae. Actinomycetales bacteria can be infected by bacteriophages, which are called actinophages. Actinomycetales can range from harmless bacteria to pathogens with resistance to antibiotics. Reproduction Actinomycetales have 2 main forms of reproduction: spore formation and hyphae fragmentation. During reproduction, Actinomycetales can form conidiophores, sporangiospores, and oidiospores. In reproducing through hyphae fragmentation, the hyphae formed by Actinomycetales can be a fifth to half the size of fungal hyphae, and bear long spore chains. Presence and associations Actinomycetales can be found mostly in soil and decaying organic matter, as well as in ...

Actinomyces
''Actinomyces'' is a genus of the Actinomycetia class of bacteria. They all are gram-positive. ''Actinomyces'' species are facultatively anaerobic and they grow best under anaerobic conditions. ''Actinomyces'' species may form endospores, and while individual bacteria are rod-shaped, ''Actinomyces'' colonies form fungus-like branched networks of hyphae. The aspect of these colonies initially led to the incorrect assumption that the organism was a fungus and to the name ''Actinomyces'', "ray fungus" (from Greek , ray or beam, and , fungus). ''Actinomyces'' species are ubiquitous, occurring in soil and in the microbiota of animals, including the human microbiota. They are known for the important role they play in soil ecology; they produce a number of enzymes that help degrade organic plant material, lignin, and chitin. Thus, their presence is important in the formation of compost. Certain species are commensal in the skin flora, oral flora, gut flora, and vaginal flora of human ...
