The suborder Kineosporiineae

Abstract

Kineosporiaceae is only one family within the order Kineosporiales, which includes the genera Angustibacter, Kineococcus, Kineosporia, Pseudokineococcus, and Quadrisphaera at this writing. Members of the genera Angustibacter, Kineococcus, Pseudokineococcus, and Quadrisphaera are characterized by formation of cocci to rods, meso-diaminopimelic acid as a cell wall diamino acid, saturated, iso-branched methyl and anteiso branched methyl fatty acid as the cellular fatty acid. The members of the genus Kineosporia are characterized by formation of spores on substrate hypha by the intermediary of sporophores, meso- and LL-diaminopimelic acid as a cell wall diamino acid, saturated, unsaturated, and 10 methyl branched methyl fatty acid as the cellular fatty acid. Members of this family are found in soil, desert sand, coast sediment, shield cell facility, aerobic granule, air sample, roof tile, sphagnum, leaf, fallen leaf, plant litter, root, on stem of plant.
