Abstract excerpt

Total DNA preparations from 74 antibiotic-producing type strains and 102 natural Streptomyces isolates were examined by dot blots for homology to 6 antibiotic production and resistance genes. Pattern diversity of hybridizations decreased as stringency increased from 65% to 85%. There were 146 uni...
