Description
Colonies are slow growing, aerobic, Gram-positive, nonacid-fast, glabrous or chalky, heaped and folded, and white, tan, gray, brown, or black in color. Colonies often have an earthy odor. Filaments are extensively branched; aerial filaments are abundant and usually produce long chains of spores formed by fragmentation of the filaments.
Salient Characteristics
Isolates of
Streptomyces
are frequently recognized by their chalky appearance and earthy odor.
Laboratory Precautions
Handle with care, but special precautions are not necessary
