 Starch is rapidly hydrolyzed. No growth on cellulose. Source: Isolated from mud from the edge of a river. Habitat: Unknown. 27. Streptomyces griseoluteus Ume- zawa et al., 1951. (Umezawa, Hayano, Maeda, Ogata and Okami, Jour. Antibiotics (Japanese), 4, 1951, 34; also see Okami, Jour. Antibiotics (Japanese), 5, 1952, 478.) gri.se.o.lu'te.us. M.L. adj. griseus gray; luteus golden yellow; M.L. adj. griseoluteus grayish yellow. Aerial mycelium: Hyphae branch mono- podially and irregularly; conidia ellipsoidal to cylindrical, 1.0 to 1.2 by 1.8 to 2.2 mi- crons. Gelatin : No growth. Agar: Wrinkled, transparent growth. Aerial mj'celium thin, white, powdery. No soluble pigment or a j'ellowish brown pig- ment. Synthetic agar: Thin, colorless to cream- colored growth. Margin plumose, penetrat- ing into medium. Aerial mycelium powdery, grayish white to light drab. No soluble pig- ment or a yellowish brown pigment. Glucose agar: Wrinkled, cream-colored growth. Aerial mycelium thin, white. Red- dish brown pigment. Glucose broth: Cream-colored to brown surface ring. Aerial mycelium powdery, white. Soluble reddish brown pigment weakly produced. Milk: Cream-colored ring; white surface patches. Potato: Abundant, wrinkled, cream- colored growth. Aerial mycelium dusty white, thin; plug becoming slightly brown- ish. Starch is hydrolyzed. Nitrites produced from nitrates. Antagonistic properties: Produces griseo- lutein, a yellow antibiotic active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Pigment insoluble in medium but soluble in organic solvents. Produces an abundance of chlamydospores. Aerial mycelium: Poorly developed or completely absent on many media; non- septate. Sporophores form spirals with 3 to
