The type strain of S. internatus proved to be identical to S. viridis, and thus S. internatus should be regarded as a synonym of S. viridis. A total of 16 strains differed significantly from S. viridis and S. caesia and are proposed as members of a new species, Saccharomonospora glauca (type strain, DSM 43769). Since the three species differ in phage sensitivity, production of antibiotic substances, and enzyme, protein, and deoxyribonucleic acid restriction patterns, these properties can be used for reliable species identification.", }
