Abstract
Cell-wall preparations were made from more than 140 strains of aerobic actinomycetes representing most of the form-genera that have been proposed. All cell-wall preparations contained as major constituents glucosamine, muramic acid, alanine, and glutamic acid. In addition, cell-wall preparations from various types of streptomycetes and strains of
Microëllobosporia
contained glycine and
ll
-α,ε-diaminopimelic acid; those from strains of most Actinoplanaceae and micromonosporae contained glycine and meso-α-ε-diaminopimelic acid; those from strains of
Thermoactinomyces, Microbispora, Dermatophilus
, and nocardiae of the
madurae-pelletieri
group contained meso-α,ε-diaminopimelic acid; and those from strains of
Thermomonospora, Micropolyspora
, and most nocardiae contained meso-α,ε-diaminopimelic acid, arabinose, and galactose. All the strains used were also studied morphologically.
