Actinomycetes are groups of heterogeneous gram-positive anaerobic bacteria-except for Frankia, a gram-negative actinomycete-which are characterized by their filamentous growth pattern that results in an extensive colony or mycelium formation. The mycelium in some species may break apart to form rods...
