Question
Chapter 23.1, Problem 1.8CC
Summary Introduction
The two genera, Nocardia and Rhodococcus constitute the family of Nocardiaceae. These bacteria develop substrate mycelium. These members also produce aerial mycelium. They are all obligate aerobes. These members and related bacteria that resemble Nocardia are collectively termed as nocardioforms.
