Abstract

Chemotaxonomic and numerical identification were carried out for a isolate of Streptomyces strain SMF301 producing spores in submerged culture. Fifty taxonomic unit characters were tested and the data were analyzed numerically using the TAXON program. The isolate SMF301 was identified to cluster 1A of Streptomyces and best matched to Streptomyces limosus which is a synonym of Streptomyces albidoflavus. Therefore, it was concluded that the isolate was identified to be a member of Streptomyces alidoflavus.
