Abstract
The ability of streptomycetes to produce hydrogen-sulfide is generally used for taxonomic purposes. It was found that the previously used method, the blackening of Peptone-Iron-Agar, does not clearly indicate formation of hydrogen-sulfide. It was shown that the blackening of a lead-acetate strip is the most accurate indicator for H2S-producing streptomycetes. A great variety of organic and inorganic sulfur compounds were examined and compared, and the choice of the most suitable sulfur source and method for the detection of hydrogen-sulfide is discussed.Keywords
