Abstract excerpt
In Streptomyces ambofaciens, colony pigmentation is an unstable character. Very unstable mutants selected from twelve wild type (WT) subclones of S. ambofaciens ATCC23877 were investigated. This research showed that the polymorphism in colony pigmentation had distinct features. The first aspect is the coexistence of four types of colonies: pigmented colonies (Pig+), pigment-defective colonies (Pigcol-), pigmented...
