Streptomyces maghwi, a new species producing roflamycoin.
A new Streptomyces species is described for which the name S. maghwi is proposed. The organism is characterized by a pink mass of aerial mycelium, spiral spore chains, spores with smooth surfaces and a nonchromogenic vegetative mycelium. S. maghwi produces roflamycoin (Schlegel et al. 1981) formerly known as flavomycoin (Schlegel et al. 1971). The type strain of S. maghwi is deposited with CBS, Netherland.
