The Nocardiaceae are a family of aerobic, non-fastidious, high G+C, Gram-positive actinomycetes that are commonly found in soil and water.[3] Members of this family have been isolated from Antarctic soils.[4] Nocardiaceae present coccobacilli, filamentous or, rarely, fragmented and palisading forms,[5] and filamentous species grow in a branching morphological pattern similar to fungal hyphae.[6]
