A.YR 1957 T1 Some Observations upon the Mode of Sporulation and Relationships of Monosporous Actinomycetes JF Microbiology, VO 17 IS 3 SP 562 OP 566 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/00221287-17-3-562 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1465-2080, AB SUMMARY: The modes of sporulation of Micromonospora chalcea, the parasitic Actinomyces odontolyticus and of stages in the primary mycelium of a strain of Streptomyces are compared. All produce spores singly on short side-branches, but the characters of the parasitic Actinomyces appear to be neotenic and degenerate, whereas those of the Streptomyces are primitive, and show signs of affiliations with a variety of different genera., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-17-3-562
