Simple method for preparation of homogeneous spore suspensions useful in industrial strain selection.
Homogeneous suspensions of streptomycete spores were desirable for plating after mutagenesis. Filtration through 8-mum membrane filters (Millipore Corp.) more effectively separated hyphae and spore clumps from single spores than did filtration through cotton wefts or paper.
