Micromonospora aurantiaca is an orange-pigmented actinobacterium in the family Micromonosporaceae, commonly isolated from soil and aquatic sediments. It produces a single, non-motile spore and is known for its capacity to produce diverse secondary metabolites. Its conservation status is not evaluated.

Micromonospora melanospora is a Gram-positive actinobacterium in the family Micromonosporaceae, characterized by its production of dark-pigmented, melanin-containing spores. Like other Micromonospora species, it inhabits soil and aquatic sediments where it plays a role in decomposing cellulose and chitin. Members of this genus are prolific producers of bioactive secondary metabolites, including antibiotics.
