“…Members of this genus typically exhibit single, non-motile spores on the substrate mycelium and lack aerial mycelium (Ren et al , 2013). At the time of writing, a total of 55 species in the genus Micromonospora have validly published names, including the recently described Micromonospora polyrhachis (Xiang et al , 2014), Micromonospora wenchangensis (Ren et al , 2013), Micromonospora equina (Everest & Meyers, 2013), Micromonospora schwarzwaldensis (Gurovic et al , 2013), Micromonospora sonneratiae (Li et al , 2013), Micromonospora sediminicola (Supong et al , 2013), Micromonospora kangleipakensis (Nimaichand et al , 2013). Members of the genus Micromonospora are widely distributed in different environments, but so far no species has been discovered in mine soils contaminated with heavy metals.…”
