New genus-specific primers for the PCR identification of members of the genus Saccharomonospora and evaluation of the microbial diversity of wild-type isolates of Saccharomonospora detected from soil DNAs.

Abstract excerpt

Members of the genus Saccharomonospora are isolated infrequently, probably due to the low occurrence of these actinomycetes in the environment. Although members of this genus can easily be identified by micromorphological criteria, the extensive chemotaxonomic characterization of each new isolate is a time-consuming task which cannot always be undertaken when handling large numbers of strains as is the case in...
