Lh. Xu et al., STREPTOMYCES-THERMOGRISEUS, A NEW SPECIES OF THE GENUS STREPTOMYCES FROM SOIL, LAKE AND HOT-SPRING, International journal of systematic bacteriology, 48, 1998, pp. 1089-1093
Many thermophilic actinomycetes were isolated from samples collected f
rom a hot-spring, lake and soil in Yunnan, China. Chemical and molecul
ar classification of four selected strains of thermophilic Streptomyce
s with an upper limited growth temperature of 65-68 degrees C and auto
lytic characteristics was carried out. A new species, Streptomyces the
rmogriseus sp. nov. is described. The type strain is Y-14046(T) (= CCT
CC AA97014(T)).
