Observations on the chromatinic bodies of Streptomyces coelicolor.
Colonies of Streptomyces coelicolor growing on cellophane and impression preparations from sporing colonies were stained for chromatin by the methods of Feulgen, DeLamater (1951), and Piéchaud (1954). The chromatinic bodies of the substrate hyphae have a great variety of configurations. During the development of the spores, elongated chromatinic structures in the young aerial hyphae separate into a number of subunits and a single round chromatinic body is included in each spore.
