Taxonomic characterization of closely related Streptomyces spp. based on the amino acid sequence analysis of protease inhibitor proteins.
Amino acid sequences of protease inhibitors (Streptomyces subtilisin inhibitor-like proteins) widely distributed in Streptomyces were compared to clarify the taxonomic status of three strains of Streptomyces spp., S. coelicolor A3(2), S. lividans 66 and S. coelicolor Müller, which are closely related by conventional taxonomical procedures. The sequence comparison indicated that S. coelicolor A3(2) is distinct from the type strain S. coelicolor Müller, but belongs to the same taxon as S. lividans 66.
