Notes:
The nutritional conditions for the germination of spores of Streptomyces galbus 5ME-13 were determined under laboratory conditions. The germination of the spores was intiated by the emergence of 1-2 germ tubes after the second hour of incubation and attained its maximum at the sixth hour. This was accompanied by a steady rise in the optical density of the germinating spore suspension. A malt-extract yeast-extract medium was found to be the best medium for the germination of the spores.Glycerol as the sole source of carbon was the best supporter for spore germination while, as N source, L-alanine was preferred. The optimum pH and temperature for spore germination were 7.2 and 30°C, respectively.
