The name Actinoplanes rectilineatus sp.nov. is proposed for the organism formerly referred to as Actinoplanes sp. 7-10. It forms a very short, macroscopically visible, orange-brown aerial mycelium. Conidia formation has not been observed. Globose, lophotrichous spores with an average of 30 flagella per spore are formed in longitudinal rows in cylindrical sporangia. Diffusible pigments are produced. Nitrates are not reduced. The type strain has been assigned the Waksman Institute of Microbiology IMRU number 3919.
