Sphaerisporangium melleum explained

Sphaerisporangium melleum is an actinomycete species of bacteria first isolated from sandy soil. It produces branching substrate mycelia and spherical spore vesicles on aerial hyphae that contain non-motile spores. They also contained diaminopimelic acid and the N-acetyl type of peptidoglycan. Its type strain is 3-28(8)^T (=JCM 13064^T =DSM 44954^T).^[1]
