The Frankineae are a suborder of the Actinomycetales order. Like all Actinobacteria, the species are Gram-positive with high G+C ratios.
The currently accepted phylogeny is based on 16S rRNA-based LTP release 123 by 'The All-Species Living Tree' Project
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)
