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:[2]
- 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

Phylogeny
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN).[2] The phylogeny is based on whole-genome analysis.[3][lower-alpha 1]
