Streptomycetes comprising the Streptomyces hygroscopicus -like complex may be divided into two groups based on the micromorphology of their spores. The species S. hygroscopicus has short-cylindrical, phalangiform spores, whereas members of the second group possess elliptical-type spores. It was determined that S. platensis , of the latter group, is not only readily distinguishable from S. hygroscopicus on the basis of spore micromorphology, but differs, as well, according to various physiological measurements. |
