A1 LECHEVALIER, HUBERTYR 1970 T1 Chemical composition as a criterion in the classification of aerobic actinomycetes JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 20 IS 4 SP 435 OP 443 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-20-4-435 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB ABSTRACT The information concerning the main components found in cell wall preparations and whole-cell hydrolysates of some 600 strains of aerobic actinomy-cetes is reviewed. The results show that whole-cell sugar patterns can usually be used to predict cell wall composition and that the combination of both criteria permit separation of aerobic actinomycetes into 10 taxonomically useful groups., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-20-4-435
