Summary
A soil isolate ofStreptomyces roseosporus was found to produce spores in stirred submerged culture. Both biological mass and respiratory activity increased during the sporulation process. Contrary to other reports, the differentiation process was not purposefully initiated by critical manipulation of either nutritional or environmental conditions.
