 bacteria and which is identical with acti- thiazic acid or thiozolidone. Relationships to other species: Resembles Streptomyces roseochromogenes in the color of the growth and in the slow or no lique- faction of coagulated serum or gelatin. S. roseochromogenes differs from this species in that it forms numerous open spirals and produces nitrite. Source: Isolated as strain No. 154 T-3 from soil at Kanegasaki, Iwate Prefecture. Habitat: Soil. 42.
