Abstract

<jats:p> Cellophane cultivation techniques have been proven to be useful for the study of colony growth in Streptomyces. Results obtained by this procedure indicate that, in S. antibioticus, substrate mycelium was a nutrient support for aerial mycelium growth. Oleandomycin synthesis starts before aerial mycelium formation and may play an important role during colony growth.
