A New Genus of the Order Actinomycetales
نویسنده
چکیده
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 previously named genera of the order,Actinomycetales. Thus, it is considered to be a member of a new genus, for whlch the name Kitasatosporia is proposed. The type species(monotype)of this genus is K.setalba. The type strain of K. setalba is strain KM-6054(ATCC 33774).

متن کاملStreptomyces Tyrosinase: Production and Practical Applications
Tyrosinases (monophenol, o-diphenol:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC (1.14.18.1) are copper-containg enzymes which catalyze the o-hydroxylation of monophenols and subsequent oxidation of o-diphenols to quinones. The enzymes are involved in the pigmentation and are important factors in wound healing and primary immune response. Tyrosinases are found in prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, in mamm...

Salinispora is the first obligate marine genus within the order Actinomycetales and a productive source of biologically active secondary metabolites. Despite a worldwide, tropical or subtropical distribution in marine sediments, only two Salinispora species have thus far been cultivated, suggesting limited species-level diversity. To further explore Salinispora diversity and distributions, the ...

Organisms having a complex life cycle similar to the animal pathogen Dermatophilus congolensis have been isolated from soils of the United States. The soil isolates grow readily on agar media producing a black, friable, or sooty colony; in broth, the isolates produce a thick sediment with a clear supernatant fluid and occasionally a black surface pellicle. The generic taxon Geodermatophilus is ...
