Eight new species of the genus Micromonospora, Micromonospora citrea sp nov., Micromonospora echinaurantiaca sp nov., Micromonospora echinofusca sp nov Micromonospora fulviviridis sp nov., Micromonospora inyonensis sp nov., Micromonospora peucetia sp nov., Micromonospora sagamiensis sp nov., and Micromonospora viridifaciens sp nov.

A previous phylogenetic study on type strains of the genus Micromonospora and Micromonospora species bearing non-validly published names has pointed towards the species Status of several of latter strains, Subsequent Studies on morphological, cultural, chemotaxonomic, metabolic, and genomic properties, and oil whole cell mass spectrometric analyses by matrix adsorbed laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) confirmed the species status, leading to the proposal of eight new Micromonospora species: Micromanospora citrea sp. nov., type strain DSM 43903(T). Micromonospora echinaurantiaca sp. nov., type strain DSM 43904(T). Micromonospora ecllinofusca sp. nov., type strain DSM 43913(T), Micromonospora fulviviridis sp. nov., type strain DSM 43906(T). Micromonospora inyonensis sagamiensis sp. nov., type strain DSM 43363(T). Micromonospora viridifaciens sp. nov., type strain DSM 43909(T). (c) 2005 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
