TRANSFER OF A STRAIN STREPTOMYCES ERYTHREUS TO THE GENUS AMYCOLATOPSIS AS AMYCOLATOPSIS ERYTHREUS COMB. NOV. AND RELATED TAXONOMIC STUDIES
将一株原红霉素链霉菌转入拟无枝菌酸菌属的分类学研究

Chemotaxonomic analysis of cells wall of Streptomyces erythreus AS 4.894 and AS 4.198 revealed that these two strains are not representatives of the genus Streptomyces because the cell walls are type IV. The strain AS 4.198 belongs to species of Saccharopolyspora erythreus (Labeda, 1987). The phospholipid pattern of strain AS 4.894 was type PII, which defers from that of Saccharopolyspora. So, we propose that the strain AS 4.894 be transferred to the genus Amycolatopsis as the type strain of a new species, Amycolatopsis erythreus comb. nov.
