Actinoplanes is a genus in the family Micromonosporaceae.^[1] They have aerial mycelia and spherical, motile spores. Actinoplanes species produce the pharmaceutically important compounds valienamine (a precursor to the antidiabetic drug acarbose^[2] and the antibiotic validamycin), teicoplanin, and ramoplanin.
