Gordonia (bacterium)
''Gordonia'' is a genus of gram-positive, aerobic, catalase-positive bacterium in the Actinomycetota, closely related to the ''Rhodococcus'', ''Mycobacterium'', and ''Nocardia'' genera. It is from the same lineage that includes ''Mycobacterium tuberculosis''. The genus was discovered by Tsukamura in 1971 and named after American bacteriologist Ruth Gordon.. Many species are often found in the soil and are rarely known to cause infections in humans. Some investigations have found that 28 °C is the ideal temperature for the growth of ''Gordonia'' bacteria. Some species of ''Gordonia'', such as ''Gordonia rubripertincta'', produce colonies that have a bright orange or orange-red color. Some strains of ''Gordonia'' have recently garnered interest in the biotechnology industry due to their ability to degrade environmental pollutants. Species ''Gordonia'' comprises the following species: * '' G. aichiensis'' corrig. (Tsukamura 1983) Klatte et al. 1994 * '' G. alkaliphila'' ...

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. '' Panthera leo'' (lion) and '' Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. phylogenetic analysis should c ...
