The Actinomycetota (or Actinobacteria) are a diverse phylum of Gram-positive bacteria with high GC content. [4] They can be terrestrial or aquatic. [5] They are of great importance to land flora because of their contributions to soil systems. In soil they help to decompose the organic matter of dead organisms so the molecules can be taken up ...
Actinomycetales can be found mostly in soil and decaying organic matter, as well as in living organisms such as humans and animals. They form symbiotic nitrogen fixing associations with over 200 species of plants, and can also serve as growth promoting or biocontrol agents, or cause disease in some species of plants.
The high G + C phylum was made up of the Actinobacteria, and the low G + C phylum contained the Firmicutes. [5] The Actinomycetota include the Corynebacterium, Mycobacterium, Nocardia and Streptomyces genera. The (low G + C) Bacillota, have a 45–60% GC content, but this is lower than that of the Actinomycetota. [2]
The Actinomycetaceae (often called actinomycetes or mycelial bacteria) are a family of bacteria in the order Actinomycetales that contains the medically important genus Actinomyces.
The navel, or umbilicus is a moist microbiome of the body [12] (with high humidity and temperatures), [13] that contains a large amount of bacteria, [14] especially bacteria that favors moist conditions such as Corynebacterium [15] and Staphylococcus.
The Coriobacteriia are a class of Gram-positive bacteria within the Actinomycetota phylum. [3] [4] Species within this group are nonsporulating, strict or facultative anaerobes that are capable of thriving in a diverse set of ecological niches.
Streptomyces is the largest genus of Actinomycetota, and the type genus of the family Streptomycetaceae. [3] Over 700 species of Streptomyces bacteria have been described. [4] [5] [6] As with the other Actinomycetota, streptomycetes are gram-positive, and have very large genomes with high GC content.
