Appl Microbiol. 1971 Mar;21(3):527-33. doi: 10.1128/am.21.3.527-533.1971.

Abstract

Streptomyces spores surfaces have been classified into five groups, smooth, warty, spiny, hairy, and rugose, by examination of carbon replicas of spores with the transmission electron microscope and by direct examination of spores with the scanning electron microscope.
