Identification of Some Streptomycetes Producing Oxytetracycline

Abstract
A study was made of Streptomyces rimosus and mutant strains to compare the phenotype of high and low oxytetracycline producers. Strains were identified using a probabilistic identification matrix for the genus Streptomyces. Mutant strains separated into two groups: high-titre strains and blocked mutants. The former identified with the S. rimosus cluster whereas the latter were not identified. Two further oxytetracycline producers identified with the Streptomyces lydicus cluster.
