In a study of the submerged growth morphology of 145 different streptomycetes in A C Broth, the species Streptomyces aureofaciens was observed to represent an unusual type. It was characterized by profuse mycelial segmentation, transformation of disarticulated fragments of segmented mycelium into chains of thickened arthrospores, and formation of filiform appendages on the arthrosporic cells giving an insectival appearance to these elements. This unusual morphology was determined to be a consistent feature in 110 strains of S. aureofaciens studied, hence suggesting a useful taxonomic aid in identification of this species. Preliminary studies of multiple strains of many different Streptomyces species indicate that other useful taxonomic features based on morphology of submerged growth are found in a significantly large part of the genus.
在一项关于145种不同链霉菌在AC肉汤中 submerged growth形态的研究中，发现金色链霉菌代表一种不寻常的类型。其特征是菌丝大量分段，分段菌丝的脱节片段转化为加厚的节孢子链，并且在节孢子细胞上形成丝状附属物，使这些结构呈现出似昆虫的外观。在所研究的110株金色链霉菌中，这种不寻常的形态被确定为一个一致的特征，因此表明这在该物种的鉴定中是一种有用的分类学辅助特征。对许多不同链霉菌属多种菌株的初步研究表明，基于 submerged growth形态的其他有用分类学特征在该属的很大一部分中都能找到。
