TAXONOMIC STUDIES ON THE AABOMYCIN PRODUCING STRAIN, STREPTOMYCES HYGROSCOPICUS SUBSP. AABOMYCETICUS SEINO SUBSP. NOV.

Abstract

A new subspecies of Streptomyces hygroscopicus was isolated from a peatysoil collected in Bibai, Hokkaido, Japan in July, 1965, and numbered as 325-17. The isolate has been named Streptomyces hygroscopicus (JENSEN) WAKSMAN et HENRICI subsp. aabomyceticus SEINO. Freeze-dried cultures of the type strain 325-17 have been deposited in the Fermentation Research Institute, Chiba, Japan and the American Type Culture Collection, Rockvill, Maryland, U. S. A. where they have been assigned accession numbers as FERM-P No. 166 and ATCC 21449, respectively.
