Influence of pH on spore aggregation of Streptosporangium brasiliense.
Spores of Streptosporangium brasiliense aggregated at acidic pH's and were dissociated into free spores by changing to neutral or alkaline pH's. This finding was utilized in preparing uniform spore suspension, in which simple filtrations gave rise to consistent preparation of free spores at alkaline pH.
