“…The family Pseudonocardiaceae was established by Embley et al (1988) and its description has been emended by Stackebrandt et al (1997), Zhi et al (2009) and Labeda et al (2011) on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence, chemotaxonomic and morphological analyses. At the time of writing, the family Pseudonocardiaceae comprises 29 genera with validly published names (http://www.bacterio.net/pseudonocardiaceae.html), including the recently described genera Umezawaea (Labeda & Kroppenstedt, 2007), Actinomycetospora (Jiang et al , 2008), Allokutzneria (Labeda & Kroppenstedt, 2008), Sciscionella (Tian et al , 2009), Haloechinothrix (Tang et al , 2010), Actinophytocola (Indananda et al , 2010), Alloactinosynnema (Yuan et al , 2010), Yuhushiella (Mao et al , 2011), Labedaea (Lee, 2012), Longimycelium (Xia et al , 2013) and Thermotunica (Wu et al , 2014). Most of the genera have been isolated from diverse habitats, including soil, plant, salt lake and marine sediments.…”
