The menaquinone system of three species in the genus Actinomadura was determined. Actinomadura madurae and A. pelletieri were found to have the same quinone system comprising MK-9(H6)[MK-9(H4)MK-9 (H8)]. In contrast, several strains classified in A. dassonvillei were different in the chain length and the degree of saturation; they had the MK-10MK-10(H2)[MK-10(H4)] or MK-10(H4)MK-10(H6)[MK-10(H8) MK-9(H4)MK-9(H6)] system. These results obtained are discussed from the taxonomic point of view.
