Nocardioides

genus of bacteria

Nocardioides are a genus of aerobic bacteria (needs oxygen to survive) that is Gram-positive.[5] There are currently 49 species that have been correctly found that belong to the genus Nocardioides but more are still being discovered and the addition of other similar species are being discussed.[6] Nocardioides can be found in soils or in water from all over the world.[7]
