Simplified Approach to Identification of Aerobic Actinomycetes by Thin-Layer Chromatography

Abstract: A system has been developed for the identification of aerobic actinomycetes in the clinical laboratory based on analysis of whole cells for diaminopimelic acid and carbohydrates and on the ability of the organism to decompose casein, tyrosine, and xanthine media. The whole-cell analyses were performed by a simple thin-layer chromatographic procedure that is described. Eighteen reference cultures were correctly identified and, subsequently, 35 isolates from clinical material were grouped by using this system. T… Show more

“…Biomass of A-T 0013 T used for chemotaxonomic analyses was obtained from a culture growing in trypticase soy medium (Difco) on a rotary shaker at 200 r.p.m., 28 ° C for 4 days. The isomer of diaminopimelic acid in the cell wall was determined using the method of Staneck and Roberts [31]. The acyl type in muramic acid of the peptidoglycan was determined using the method of Uchida and Aida [32].…”

“…The isolate was examined for a broad range of phenotype properties known to be of value in Micromonospora systematics [ 10 , 16 ]. Standard chromatographic procedures were used to detect isomers of diaminopimelic acid [ 91 ], whole-organism sugars [ 92 ] and polar lipids [ 93 , 94 ], using freeze dried biomass harvested from yeast extract-malt extract broth cultures (International Streptomyces Project [ISP] medium 2) [ 95 ]. Similarly, cellular fatty acids extracted from the isolate were methylated and analyzed using the Sherlock Microbial Identification (MIDI) system and the resultant peaks identified using the ACTINO 6 database [ 96 ].…”
