On the basis of cell wall composition and physiological characteristics, this organism was placed in the genus Nocardiopsis. This organism differed from the only previously described species of this genus by a number of morphological and biochemical characteristics, including inability to decompose adenine and xanthine, fragmentation in submerged cultures, growth in lysozyme broth, and possession of type PIV phospholipids. It also produced a novel antibiotic, polynitroxin. This organism is regarded as a new species, for which we propose the name Nocardiopsis mutabilis. The type strain of this species is SK&F-AAA025 (= ATCC 31520).", }
