RAPID DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN NOCARDIA AND STREPTOMYCES BY PAPER CHROMATOGRAPHY OF WHOLE-CELL HYDROLYSATES

B BECKER et al. Appl Microbiol. 1964 Sep.

Abstract

Whole-cell hydrolysates were prepared from 58 strains of nocardiae and streptomycetes. Strains morphologically intermediate between the two genera and morphological variants of the same strains were included. Paper chromatograms made from the whole-cell hydrolysates clearly demonstrated meso-diaminopimelic acid as a major constituent of cultures of Nocardia spp., and LL-diaminopimelic acid as a major constituent of cultures of Streptomyces spp. In cultures of ten strains of N. madurae and of three of N. pelletieri, meso-diaminopimelic acid predominated, thereby supporting the assignment of these species to the genus Nocardia.
