Actinomycetales is an

Actinobacteria. They are very diverse and contain a variety of subdivisions as well as yet unclassified isolates. This is mainly because some genera are very difficult to classify because of a highly niche-dependent phenotype. For example Nocardia
contains several phenotypes that were first believed to be distinct species before it was proven that their differences were entirely dependent on their growth conditions.

Why is Classification difficult

Actinomycetales are

Gram positive, however several species have complex cell wall structures that makes the gram staining unsuitable. Examples: Mycobacteriaceae
