Nocardiopsis dassonvillei subsp. dassonvillei DSM 43111

This soil bacterium has been known by a number of other names since its isolation (among them Nocardiopsis antarctica and Streptomyces flavidofuscus). Cells grow aerobically as hyphae and form elongated, smooth irregularly sized spores. N.dassonvillei has been isolated from a wide variety of habitats, including soil, glaciers, mildewed fodder, salterns and patients with conjunctivitis or cholangitis. This strain is the type strain, isolated in 1904, but it is not clear what its geographical and ecological origins are. It is an occasional human pathogen, causing actinomycetoma, which are bacteria-filled abcesses (adapted from http://standardsingenomics.org/index.php/sigen/article/view/sigs.1373474). (EBI Integr8)
