Studies on the morphological characteristics and ultrastructure of streptomyces rubrowedgii sp nov A new species isolated from the soil of Kuwait

ABSTRACT

A new species of Streptomyces isolated from Kuwait soil and given the epithet S. Rubrowedgii [123 CS] was described morphologically and ultrastructurally in view of characteristic responses to asparagine and /or glycerol. New spore surface [wedge shape] was suggested and conditions discussed. Phages and a parasiting bacterium have been reported and claimed to have a potential role in the hyphal and spore morphogenesis of the new species
