ABSTRACT. A sporangiate actinomycete (strain DI = IPV 2852 =
NCB 1160), isolated from decomposed leaf litter of Betula
alba using an Andersen sampler connected to a
sedimentation chamber, was studied. On the basis of its
morphological features and cell wall composition, it was
placed in the genus Streptosporangium. This organism is
believed to belong to a new s.pecies, Streptosporangium
claviforme, because of its characteristic production of
club-shaped sporangla.
