Isolation of Toxigenic <i>Nocardiopsis</i> Strains from Indoor Environments and Description of Two New <i>Nocardiopsis</i> Species, <i>N. exhalans</i> sp. nov. and <i>N. umidischolae</i> sp. nov

Abstract excerpt

Nocardiopsis strains were isolated from water-damaged indoor environments. Two strains (N. alba subsp. alba 704a and a strain representing a novel species, ES10.1) as well as strains of N. prasina, N. lucentensis, and N. tropica produced methanol-soluble toxins that paralyzed the motility of boar spermatozoa at <30 microg of crude extract (dry weight) x ml(-1). N. prasina, N. lucentensis, N. tropica, and strain...
