| Morphology | Promicromonospora |
| CELLULAR |
| Staining | Gram-positive, non-acid fast |
| Morphology | Branching septate hyphae (0.5-1.0 um in diameter) growing on the surface of and penetrating into the agar, which break up into fragments of various size and shape. Fragmentation finally results in nonmotile, Y- or V-shaped, rodlike, coccoid, chlamydospore-like, and other spore-shaped elements. All of them may give rise to new mycelia. Growth pasty to leathery. Aerial hyphae in different strains may vary in abundance (sometimes discernible only microscopically). These are straight to curved, sometimes sparsely branched, usually fragmented into rodlike or elongated coccoid elements. |

| PHYSIOLOGICAL |
| Tropism | Chemoorganotrophic |
| Oxygen | Aerobic. Glucose metabolized oxidatively, rarely also fermentatively |

| Temperature | Mesophilic |
| Requirements | Utilize a wide range of sources |
| Products | possess a significant spectrum of hydrolytic activities |
| Enzymes | catalase positive |
| Unique features | Susceptible to taxon-specific phages; not susceptible to phages of various sets that attack oerskoviae and other nocardioform organisms. Cell wall chemotype VI (lysine as principal diagnostic amino acid); peptiodglycan type A3a (L-lysine in position 3). Mycolic acids lacking. No wall teichoic acids found. Among fatty acids, branching ones of the iso- and anteiso-types (iso- and anteiso-C15:O) predominate. Diagnostic phospholipids represented by phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified glucosamine-containing phospholipid. Menaquionones of the MK-9(H4), type. |
