picture info	Mycobacterium ''Mycobacterium'' is a genus of over 190 species in the phylum Actinomycetota, assigned its own family, Mycobacteriaceae. This genus includes pathogens known to cause serious diseases in mammals, including tuberculosis (''Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. tuberculosis'') and leprosy (''Mycobacterium leprae, M. leprae'') in humans. The Greek language, Greek prefix ''myco-'' means 'fungus', alluding to this genus' Mold (fungus), mold-like colony surfaces. Since this genus has cell walls with a waxy lipid-rich outer layer containing high concentrations of mycolic acid, acid-fast staining is used to emphasize their resistance to acids, compared to other cell types. Mycobacterial species are generally aerobic, non-motile, and capable of growing with minimal nutrition. The genus is divided based on each species' pigment production and growth rate. While most ''Mycobacterium'' species are non-pathogenic, the genus' characteristic complex cell wall contributes to evasion from host defenses. ...

	Mycobacterium Heidelbergense ''Mycobacterium heidelbergense'' is a Gram-positive, nonmotile, acid-fast coccobacillus. It is a species of the phylum Actinomycetota (Gram-positive bacteria with high guanine and cytosine content, one of the dominant phyla of all bacteria), belonging to the genus ''Mycobacterium''. Description Dimensions: 0.5-0.8 μm x 2.0-3.0 μm Colony characteristics: Smooth, dome-like and nonpigmented colonies on Löwenstein–Jensen medium at 35 °C (0.5–1 mm in diameter). Physiology: Slow growth on Löwenstein–Jensen medium at 35 °C within 3–4 weeks, optimal growth at a range from 33 to 35 °C, but also growth at 30 and 37 °C, growth at neither 25 nor at 45 °C, susceptible to isoniazid, rifampicin and ethambutol, resistant to pyrazinamide and cycloserine Differential characteristics: Differentiation from ''M. malmoense'', (bearing a strong phenotypic resemblance to ''M. heidelbergense''), by its wider range of susceptibility to antitubercu ...

	Mycobacterium Lentiflavum ''Mycobacterium lentiflavum'' Etymology: Lentus from Latin for slow, flavus, Latin for yellow. Description Gram-positive, nonmotile and acid-fast coccobacilli. Colony characteristics Smooth colonies, with bright yellow pigmentation 1-2mm in diameter. Physiology Slow growth on Löwenstein-Jensen medium at temperatures between 22 °C and 37 °C within 3–4 weeks. Generally resistant to isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol and streptomycin. Differential characteristics Phylogenetic analysis, based on an evaluation of 16S rDNA sequences, places M. lentiflavum in an intermediate position between rapidly and slowly growing mycobacteria, closely related to '' Mycobacterium simiae'' and '' Mycobacterium genavense''.

	Mycobacterium Simiae ''Mycobacterium simiae'' is a species of ''Mycobacterium ''Mycobacterium'' is a genus of over 190 species in the phylum Actinomycetota, assigned its own family, Mycobacteriaceae. This genus includes pathogens known to cause serious diseases in mammals, including tuberculosis (''Mycobacterium tuberculo ...''. As per Runyon's classification it is classified as a photochromogen as it produces pigments only when exposed to light.
