Abstract
Whole-cell hydrolysates were prepared from 58 strains of nocardiae and streptomycetes. Strains morphologically intermediate between the two genera and morphological variants of the same strains were included. Paper chromatograms made from the whole-cell hydrolysates clearly demonstrated
meso
-diaminopimelic acid as a major constituent of cultures of
Nocardia
spp., and LL-diaminopimelic acid as a major constituent of cultures of
Streptomyces
spp. In cultures of ten strains of
N. madurae
and of three of
N. pelletieri, meso
-diaminopimelic acid predominated, thereby supporting the assignment of these species to the genus
Nocardia
.
