[Streptoverticillium krissii n. sp. forming teleocidins A and B]

The taxonomy of the actinomycete LIA-0371, regarded as a new species Streptoverticillium krissii n. sp., was studied. The culture has straight sporophores assembed into verticils, gray-cream-coloured aerial mycelium and brown colonial mycelium, and produces pentaene 0371, ichtiocide T-0371, and a soluble pigment. Physico-chemical analysis has shown that ichtiocide T-0371 is identical to teleocidins A and B.
