Actinocatenispora is a genus in the phylum Actinobacteria (Bacteria).^[1]

Etymology

The name Actinocatenispora derives from:
Greek noun aktis, aktinos (ἀκτίς, ἀκτῖνος), a beam, ray; Latin noun catena, chain; Greek feminine gender noun spora (σπορά), seed, and in biology a spore; New Latin feminine gender noun Actinocatenispora, spore chain-producing ray (fungus).^[2]

Species

The genus contains 3 species (including basonyms and synonyms), namely^[2]

• A. rupis ( Seo and Lee 2009, ; Latin genitive case noun rupis, of a cliff, referring to the site from which the type strain was isolated.)^[3]
• A. sera ( Matsumoto et al. 2007, ; Latin feminine gender adjective sera, late.)^[4]
• A. thailandica ( Thawai et al. 2006, (Type species of the genus).; New Latin feminine gender adjective thailandica, of or belonging to Thailand, where the type strain was isolated.)^[5]

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) ^[6] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)^[7] and the phylogeny is based on 16S rRNA-based LTP release 106 by The All-Species Living Tree Project ^[8]
