Actinobacteria / Actinobacteria / Micrococcales / Micrococcaceae / Acaricomes
Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-endospore-forming rods. A rod–coccus life cycle is absent. Mesophilic. The pH optimum for growth is pH 6.0–8.0. Catalase-positive, oxidase-negative. The peptidoglycan type is A3α L-Lys–L-Ala3. The predominant menaquinone is dihydrogenated menaquinone MK-10(H2 ); in addition, methylmenaquinone MMK-10(H2 ) is detectable. The main fatty acids determined are C 15:0 anteiso and C17:0 anteiso. The major polar lipids are phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylinositol.
DNA G+C content (mol%): 57.7 (HPLC).
Type species: Acaricomes phytoseiuli Pukall, Schumann, Schütte, Gols and Dicke 2006, 465VP.
