TWO NEW SPECIES OF THE GENUS KITASATOSPORIA, KITASATOSPORIA PHOSALACINEA SP. NOV. AND KITASATOSPORIA GRISEOLA SP. NOV.

[摘要] Two new species of the genus Kitasatosporia are described, for which the names Kitasatosporia phosalacinea and Kitasatosporia griseola are proposed. The former produces a new peptide antibiotic, phosalacine, and the latter produces a known antibiotic, setamycin. As in K. setalba, the type species of Kitasatosporia, the aerial and submerged spores of two the new strains contain LL-2, 6-diaminopimelic acid (A2pm), while the vegetative and filamentous mycelia contain meso-A2pm. The type strain of K. phosalacinea is strain KA-338 (IFO 14372, JCM 3340) and that of K. griseola is strain AM-9660 (IFO 14371, JCM 3339).
