ACTINOMYCETALES

Actinomycetales

Actinomycetales is an order of Actinobacteria. They are very diverse and contain a variety of subdivisions as well as yet-unclassified isolates. This is mainly because some genera are very difficult to classify because of a highly niche-dependent phenotype. For example Nocardia contains several phenotypes that were first believed to be distinct species before it was proven that their differences are entirely dependent on their growth conditions.
