Abstract

A region encoding the 16S rRNA was cloned by PCR from Streptomyces melanosporofaciens 7489 and sequenced by the chain-termination dideoxy sequencing method. A phylogenetic tree constructed by sequence alignment of 24 Streptomyces species suggests that there is little evolutionary distance between this strain and Streptomyces rimosus.
