This organism differs from other species of Actinomadura in that it forms deep green vegetative mycelia and white, curled aerial mycelia that fragment into long chains of smooth-walled, elliptical spores and produces a complex of novel acid enol antibiotics. Whole cells contain meso-diaminopimelic acid and madurose but lack nitrogenous phospholipids. This species can utilize a wide variety of carbohydrates, grow in the presence of numerous antibiotics, and actively hydrolyze many organic compounds. The type strain of A. kijaniata is SCC 1256 (= ATCC 31588)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-32-2-195
