The Micrococcineae are a suborder of bacteria of the order Actinomycetales. They are Gram-positive soil organisms, and are also paraphyletic with respect to the suborder Actinomycetineae and order Bifidobacteriales, i.e. the Actinomycetineae and Bifidobacteriales are both nested within the clade Micrococcineae.
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)
