This strain, indexed MCRL-048 in our culture collection, was isolated from the soil sample collected at Mt. Tanigawa, Gumma Prefecture. Taxonomic studies revealed that strain MCRL-048 is a new species belong ing to the genus Streptosporangium, for which the name Streptosporangium albidum Furumai et Okuda nov. sp. is proposed.
