Abstract

Chemotaxonomic and numerical identification were carried out for an isolate of Streptomyces strain SMF13 producing thiol protease inhibitor. Fifty taxonomic unit characters were tested and the data were analyzed numerically using the TAXON program. The isolate SMF13 was identified to be a member of the cluster 5 of Streptomyces and best matched to Streptomyces omiyaensis which is a synonym of Streptomyces exfoliatus. Therefore. it was concluded that the isolate was identified to be a strain of Streptomyces exfoliatus.
