Morphology it has been long apparent that reliable supragenic classification of bacteria are not possible using traditional approaches based upon prior weighting of a few morphological and physiological features.Reliance on such properties has resulted in actinomycetes being assigned to suprageneric groups.The actinomycetales, maduromycetes,nocardioform actinomycetes,and steptomycetes probably represent distinct suprageneric groups
