    Classification of Novel Soil Streptomycetes as Streptomyces Aureus Sp. Nov., Streptomyces Laceyi Sp. Nov. and Streptomyces Sanglieri Sp. Nov
    (2003) Manfio, G.P.; Atalan, E.; Zakrzewska-Czerwinska, J.; Mordarski, M.; Rodríguez, C.; Collins, M.D.; Goodfellow, M.
    The taxonomic positions of soil isolates known as Streptomyces groups A, B and C were clarified. Comparative 16S rDNA sequence studies indicated that representatives of all three taxa formed distinct phyletic lines within the Streptomyces tree though the group A strains were shown to be related to Streptomyces griseus and associated validly described species. The taxonomic integrity of all three groups was highlighted by DNA:DNA relatedness and ribotype data though the group A strains encompassed a higher degree of genetic variation than the group B and C strains. In light of these and earlier phenotypic data it is proposed that Streptomyces groups A, B and C be given species status as Streptomyces sanglieri sp. nov., Streptomyces aureus sp. nov. and Streptomyces laceyi sp. nov., respectively.
