ABSTRACT. A previously isolated streptomycete, designated
strain SC4 and able to produce a new streptothricin type
antibiotic, was compared with Streptomyces lavendulae type
strain ATCC 8664, producer of streptothricin. The two strains
are quite similar in morphology, cell wall composition and
spore morphology but can be differentiated by some cultural
and physiological characteristics. The high (87.1%) DNA
homology suggests the identity of strain SC4 with
S.lavendulae.
