ABSTRACT An actinomycete, designated strain KS35, was isolated from a soil sample collected from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, ROC. This organism is capable of producing a series of antibiotics that strongly inhibit the growth of Grampositive and Gramnegative bacteria and yeast-like fungi. The spore morphology and cell wall chemotype suggest that strain KS35 is a streptomycete. Further cultural and physiological characterization and the DNA homology suggest that strain KS3-5 is identical to Streptomyces toxytricini.
