Description Actinomycetes are prokaryotic organisms. They are transitional forms between
bacteria and fungi and called as the "higher
bacteria," or filamentous bacteria. They are also known as Ray fungi. Like bacteria , they have prokaryotic nuclei and are Gram-positive having a thicker layer of peptidoglycan in their cell wall. Like fungi they form filaments called hyphae(Subst4 rate mycelium) and also form aerial mycelium that produces spores similar to fungi.
But they are not true fungi because they do not have chitin or cellulose in their cell wall but containing muramic acid. Under a light microscope, the actinomyces appear fungus like,thin and joined together to form branching networks.
