Nocardioides
genus of bacteria
Nocardioides are a genus of aerobic bacteria (needs oxygen to survive) that is Gram-positive.[1] There are currently 49 species that have been correctly found that belong to the genus Nocardioides but more are still being discovered and the addition of other similar species are being discussed.[2] Nocardioides can be found in soils or in water from all over the world.[3]
History change
H.Prauser proposed the new genus Nocardioides in 1976.
Applications change
Some Nocardioides are able to produce antibiotics which are used in medicine and decontamination of regions. [4]
