Abstract
The taxonomic status of Nocardia amarae strains was examined using che mical, microbiological and nucleic acid sequencing methods. It was evi dent from the results of this and previous studies that Nocardia amara e has properties that are at variance with its classification in the g enus Nocardia but consistent with its transfer to the genus Gordona. I t is proposed that Nocardia amarae Lechevalier and Lechevalier 1974 be transferred to the genus Gordona as Goudona amarae comb. nov.
