Two New Genera of Nocardioform Actinomycetes: Amycolata gen. nov. and Amycolatopsis gen. nov. LECHEVALIER, M. P. and PRAUSER, H. and LABEDA, D. P. and RUAN, J.-S.,, 36, 29-37 (1986), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-36-1-29, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= We propose two new genera, Amycolata and Amycolatopsis, to accommodate nocardioform actinomycetes having type IV cell wall composition and lacking mycolic acids. These two genera are distinguished from each other by phospholipid and menaquinone composition and phage sensitivity. The following species were assigned to the genus Amycolata: Amycolata autotrophica comb. nov. (type strain, strain ATCC 19727), Amycolata saturnea comb. nov. (type strain, strain NRRL B16172), and Amycolata hydrocarbonoxydans comb. nov. (type strain, strain NRRL B16171). The genus Amycolatopsis includes Amycolatopsis orientalis comb. nov. (type strain, strain ATCC 19795), Amycolatopsis orientalis subsp. lurida nom. rev., comb. nov., subsp. nov. (type strain, strain NRRL 2430), Amycolatopsis mediterranei comb. nov. (type strain, strain ATCC 13685), Amycolatopsis rugosa sp. nov. (type strain, strain ATCC 43014), and Amycolatopsis sulphurea sp. nov. (type strain, strain ATCC 27624)., language=, type=
