TL;DR: The results of gas chromatography of derivatives of the components of the waxes showed that the phthiocerol A components from M. bovis were quantitatively different from those of M. microti and M. tuberculosis but all these mycocerosic acids ranged in size from C23 or C24 to C32, with C29 or C30 being the major component as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A Gram-stain positive actinobacterial strain was isolated from a soil sample, collected from Karpaz, Magusa, Northern Cyprus, and characterised using a polyphasic approach, and it is proposed that strain KT1403T represents a novel species of the genus Phytomonosporacypria sp.

TL;DR: Full taxonomic classification of strain MBT76T is presented, and it is shown that it has chemotaxonomic, genomic and morphological properties consistent with its classification in the genus Streptomyces, and is a useful genetic marker for the spore-chain morphology of the verticillates.

TL;DR: The extensive application of polythetic numerical method by increasing number of experts was proved to be successful in developing a more sounding streptomycete classification system which is applicable to delimit species within the genus.
