[Spectrophotometric characteristics of the coccoid forms of actinomycetes].
IR spectra of thw whole cells of the coccoid forms (Mycococcus and Micrococcus) isolated from lithophilous lichen were compared with IR spectra of the collection cultures of Micrococcus and Arthrobacter. Generic spectral characteristics of Mycococcus and Micrococcus are presented. Spectral heterogeneity within the genus Arthrobacter complicates the diagnosis. The cultures of the Mycococcus genus were divided into three groups according to their spectral characteristics. Spectral scans of the studied coccoid forms differ from the scans of the mycelial actinomycetes, and their intensities within the range of 900-1200 cm-1 (lipids) decrease in the series Mycococcus, Arthrobacter, Micrococcus.
