Introduction

The short history of the family Cellulomonadaceae, suborder Micrococcineae, order Actinomycetales, class Actinobacteria, reflects the changes in the interpretation of sequence based phylogenetic data. When defined originally (Stackebrandt and Prauser, 1991), the family Cellulomonadaceae included the genera Cellulomonas (Bergey et al., 1923; emend. Clark, 1952; emend. Stackebrandt et al., 1982), Oerskovia (Prauser et al., 1970; emend. Lechevalier, 1972), Promicromonospora (Krassilnikov, 1961), and Jonesia (Rocourt et al., 1987). The rationale for the establishment of this family was based mainly on comparative analysis of 16S rRNA cataloguing data of the type species of some genera of the order Actinomycetales (Stackebrandt et al., 1980d; Stackebrandt et al., 1983). Phylogenetically, neighboring taxa to Cellulomonadaceae were Promicromonospora, Cellulosimicrobium, Rarobacter (Fig. 1), as well as Arthrobacter, Renibacterium, Micrococcus, Stomatococcus, Dermatophilus and Microbacterium...
