Abstract
A computer program has been prepared for grouping soil actinomycetes into cluster groups based on the presence or absence of aerial mycelium, the color of soluble pigment, and the shade of color of surface and reverse mycelium. The program automatically condenses cultures with wide ranges of characteristics into a limited number of groups and provides a permanent record so that comparisons can be made among experiments performed over a span of time. The program permits the grouping of large numbers of cultures with minimal laboratory effort and has proven useful in defining some of the ecological factors that lead to changed actinomycete populations in soils.
