Abstract excerpt
A collection of 93 Streptomyces reference strains were investigated using SDS-PAGE of whole-cell proteins. Computer-assisted numerical analysis revealed 24 clusters encompassing strains with very similar protein profiles. Five of them grouped several type strains with visually identical patterns. DNA-DNA hybridizations revealed homology values higher than 70% among these type strains. According to the current...
