Abstract excerpt
Four actinomycete strains, isolated from the overheated region of manure compost, were assigned to the genus Thermobifida on the basis of morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics. All strains produced single, ovoid, heat-sensitive spores on dichotomically branched aerial hyphae. On the basis of chemotaxonomic traits, these isolates showed strong affinity towards members of the genus...
