New Form Of Life Stems
rom Funqus-Bocterio

was being analyzed for
the possible presence of some
unknown antibiotic Of the strep-
tomycin family. A few days
later the organisms were found
lin soil samples from the univer-
Isity campus. Since then DR..
Couch has found them in soils
collected from North Carolina to
California, from Northern Alaska
and Nova Scotia. 1t is highly
improbable, DR.. Couch believes,
that there is any place in the
world devoid of them.
May Be StreptOmycic
If they are related to any
thing. he points out, it is to the
streptomyces from which strep-
tomycin is obtained. That SC
large a family has remained un-
discovered SO long, he said, can
be explained by the methods used
in testing soil cultures in which
the streptomyces first appear
Then the scientist doesn't look
any further. The new organisms
do not appear until days later
They are SO small that ap-
parently they cannot compete
with their much larger bacterial
pseudo-relatives and keep under
cover until the coast is clear.
Released in water the bacteria
forms change to the fungi forms
and the duplex life cycle is re-
peated.
The odor Of the actinoplanos
DR.. Couch says, is very charac-
teristic-that of a pigpen. He
believes they may be responsible
for the smell associated with
pigpens where the soil may be
especially favorable to them. II
now has been established, he ex-
planned, that the odor of freshly
ploughed earth is due to the
streptomyces.
1t is possible. DIR. Couch said
that the organisms may have
some antibiotic qualities but
these have not been demon
Strated.
