RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 BERETTA, GRAZIAYR 1973 T1 Actinoplanes italicus, a New Red-Pigmented Species JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 23 IS 1 SP 37 OP 42 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-23-1-37 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB A new species of Actinoplanes is described for which the name A. italicus is proposed. The organism is characterized by the cherry-red color of its vegetative mycelium and by the production of soluble pigments. It differs significantly, therefore, from the species of Actinoplanes so far named and described, which generally produce a yellow or orange vegetative mycelium and which ordinarily do not produce soluble pigments. The type strain of A. italicus is A 5221 (=ATCC 27366)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-23-1-37
