Taxonomy by carbon replication. I. An examination of Streptomyces hygroscopicus.
Pre-shadowed carbon replication of spore surfaces (carbon repligraphy) provides a new technique for the characterization of streptomycetes. Carbon repligraphs of five members of the Streptomyces hygroscopicus complex show two distinct types. Type I shows a nonsegmented spore structure with an extremely wrinkled surface. Type II has a segmented spore chain with detailed surface structure resembling a basket weave.
