Studies o Streptomycetes

Further Taxonomic Studies on Straight to Flexuous Streptomycetes.

Pridham, Thomas G. (Northern Regional Research Laboratory, Peoria, Ill.), and Allister J. Lyons. Further taxonomic studies on straight to flexuous streptomycetes. J. Bacteriol. 89:331-342. 1965.-The best way to handle streptomycete classification, nomenclature, and identification is through application of a genus-species-subspecies concept. To establish a species, principal criteria are morphol...

Isolation of thermophilic streptomycetes.

The thermophilic streptomycetes, growing in the temperature range of 55 to 65 C, have remained a little known group of microorganisms. Since their discovery in 1888 by Golbig, their physiology, metabolism, metabolic products, natural habitat, and even their morphology have remained unknown or in the realm of conjecture. It was only in the latest edition of Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacte...

Bacteriolytic Enzymes from Streptomycetes

A study of the bacteriolytic properties of streptomycetes has progressively uncovered the production by these microorganisms of a large number of different enzymes acting upon various bacterial constituents, especially on some of them located in the cell wall. Although the mechanism of the bacteriolysis is far from being completely elucidated at present, it can, however, be stated that, in two ...

Stimulation of polyether antibiotic production in streptomycetes by heptakis-2,6-di-O-methyl beta-cyclodextrin.

Color and Streptomycetes. Report of an International Workshop on Determination of Color of Streptomycetes.

A report summarizing the results of an international workshop on determination of color of streptomycetes is presented. The results suggest that the color systems which seem most practically appealing and effective to specialists on actinomycetes are those embracing a limited number of color names and groups. The broad groupings allow placement of isolates into reasonably well-defined categorie...
