New primers for the class Actinobacteria: application to marine and terrestrial environments.
TLDR
The proposition that current culture-based techniques drastically underestimate the diversity of Actinobacteria in the environment is reinforced and the need to evaluate taxon-specific primers regularly is highlighted in line with improvements in databases holding 16S rDNA sequences.

Salinispora arenicola gen. nov., sp. nov. and Salinispora tropica sp. nov., obligate marine actinomycetes belonging to the family Micromonosporaceae.
TLDR
A taxonomic study was carried out to clarify the taxonomy of representatives of a group of marine actinomycetes previously designated MAR 1 and considered to belong to the family Micromonosporaceae, which contains two species recognized using a range of genotypic and phenotypic criteria.

Statistical Approaches for Estimating Actinobacterial Diversity in Marine Sediments
TLDR
Investigating bacterial diversity in a deep-sea sediment found that genetic diversity decreased with sediment depth and that each sediment community harbored unique phylogenetic lineages; it was also shown that even nonconservative OTU definitions result in severe underestimation of species richness.

Nonomuraea terrinata sp. nov., a novel soil actinomycete
The taxonomic position of a soil isolate, strain E626, was evaluated using the polyphasic approach. The organism was found to have chemical and morphological features consistent with its assignment…

Actinobacterial diversity from marine sediments collected in Mexico
TLDR
This first systematic study shows the extent of actinobacterial diversity that can be found in marine sediments collected in Mexico and probably, worldwide.

Diversity of cultivable actinobacteria in geographically widespread marine sediments
TLDR
This study provides good evidence that the previously described low diversity of actinobacterial species isolated from marine environments does not reflect an actual low species diversity, and that the use of informed selective isolation procedures can aid in the isolation of members of novel taxa.

Abyssomicins, inhibitors of the para-aminobenzoic acid pathway produced by the marine Verrucosispora strain AB-18-032.
A screening method was established to detect inhibitors of the biosynthetic pathways of aromatic amino acids and para-aminobenzoic acid, the precursor of folic acid, using an agar plate diffusion…

Proximicin A, B and C, Novel Aminofuran Antibiotic and Anticancer Compounds Isolated from Marine Strains of the Actinomycete Verrucosispora†
TLDR
A family of three novel aminofuran antibiotics named as proximicins was isolated from the marine Verrucosispora strain MG-37, showing a weak antibacterial activity but a strong cytostatic effect to various human tumor cell lines.

Reclassification of Nonomuraea flexuosa (Meyer 1989) Zhang et al. 1998 as Thermopolyspora flexuosa gen. nov., comb. nov., nom. rev.
TLDR
It is evident from the genotypic and phenotypic data that strain DSM 41386(T) is misclassified in the genus Nonomuraea and merits recognition as a monospecific genus within the family Streptosporangiaceae.
