Summary
A new, antibiotic producing,Streptomyces has been isolated from a soil sample. A detailed description of its morphological and some of its biochemical characters are given. The nameS. mediterranei nov. sp. is suggested for the new isolate. Sporulation of the newStreptomyces could be induced by cultivation on certain chemically defined media.
