Morphological and physiological studies on an isolated strain of Streptomyces from an Egyptian soil, producing high yields of litmocidin, were carried out. The local strain was compared with litmocidin producing species. The morphological and physiological characteristics revealed that the isolated strain is more related to Streptomyces litmocidini . The local strain was considered to be a new species of Streptomyces producing than to Nocadia . The utilization of the different carbon sources by the microorganism for the production of the antibiotic was investigated.
