Micromonospora chersina sp. nov.

Abstract

A dynemicin producer, strain M956-1 was placed in the genus Micromonospora. The strain was distinguished from the hitherto described species on the basis of the quantitative analysis of menaquinones and fatty acids, the cell wall-diamino acid composition and the physiological characteristics. Accordingly the name, Micromonospora chersina sp. nov. is proposed for this strain; the type strain is strain M956-1 (=ATCC 53710).
