Studies on the thermophilic actinomycetes. I. Methods of cultivation.

A total of 1,000 isolates of thermophilic actinomycetes representing two genera, Streptomyces and Thermoactinomyces, were studied. Media for cultivation and for physiological studies were designed. Differences between the two genera are noted and taxonomic criteria for the genus Thermoactinomyces are suggested. The importance of the nutritional environment to the thermophilic habit is noted.

We read with interest the article by WARTH et al. [1] on mediastinal angiomyolipoma and tuberous sclerosis. Apart from mediastinal angiomyolipoma, lymphangioleiomyomato-sis (LAM) can occur as part of the genetic condition tuberous sclerosis [2]. Since the first report by CORNOG and ETERLINE [3], LAM has been increasingly studied for the pathological processes involved in atypical smooth muscle ...
