Abstract

The family Beutenbergiaceae is a member of the order Micrococcales and comprises the monospecific genera Beutenbergia, Miniimonas, Salana, and Serinibacter. Cells of members of the family are irregular rods and cocci and may exhibit a rod–coccus life cycle. All the species are Gram-stain-positive, catalase-positive, non-motile, non-acid fast, and do not contain mycolic acids. Oxidase activity is variable, and endospores are not formed. Members of the family are defined by a wide range of chemotaxonomic properties. Cross-linkage of the peptidoglycan is of the A type with an l-serine residue at position 1 of the peptide subunit (with the exception of the genus Beutenbergia); the diagnostic diamino acids are either l-lysine (Beutenbergia and Serinibacter) or l-ornithine (Salana and Miniimonas). The interpeptide bridge contains l-glutamic acid. The predominant menaquinone is MK-8(H4). The cellular fatty acid profiles consist of iso- and anteiso-branched fatty acids. Saturated straight-chain fatty acids may be present as major components. The G + C content of the genomic DNA ranges between 71 mol% and 75 mol%. The phylogenetic neighbors are the families Bogoriellaceae, Ruaniaceae, Jonesiaceae, and Actinomycetaceae.
