Motile Nocardoid Actinomycetales

Motile nocardoid Actinomycetales.

The properties of 42 strains of nocardoid (nocardioform) bacteria were compared. The results indicate that the organism previously called Nocardia turbata does not belong to the genus Nocardia nor does it fit into any of the previously described genera.

Actinomycetales from corn.

Mesophilic Actinomycetales were isolated from whole corn, brewers grits, and break flour received from three different mills. In addition, strains were isolated from high-moisture (27 per cent) field corn; high-moisture, silo-stored corn (untreated); and high-moisture corn treated with ammonia, ammonium isobutyrate, or propionic-acetic acid. According to standard techniques, 139 strains were ...

A New Genus of the Order Actinomycetales

The morphological, cu1ωral, physiologicai and blochemical characteristics of a new actinomycete strain producing a new antibiotic, setamycin are described. The strain forms aerial mycelia. There is no fragmentation of vegetative mycelia. Since the cell wall type is a new one containhlg both LL-and meso-2,6-diaminopimelic acid, glyclne and galactose, strain KM6054could not be classified in any p...

Cytoplasmic antigen relationships among the Actinomycetales.

Kwapinski, J. B. (The University of New England, Armidale, N.S.W., Australia). Cytoplasmic antigen relationships among the Actinomycetales. J. Bacteriol. 87:1234-1237. 1964.-Cytoplasm obtained from 44 strains of the Actinomycetales was tested against the homologous and heterologous antisera in a diffusion precipitation test. A pattern of serological relationships among the cytoplasmic fractions...
