The morphological, cultural, physiological and biochemical characteristics of a new actinomycete strain producing a new antibiotic, setamycin are described. The strain forms aerial mycelia. There is no fragmentation of vegetative mycelia. Since the cell wall type is a new one containing both LL- and meso-2,6-diaminopimelic acid, glycine and galactose, strain KM-6054 could not be classified in any previously named genera of the order Actinomycetales. Thus, it is considered to be a member of a new genus, for which the name Kitasatosporia is proposed. The type species (monotype) of this genus is K. setalba. The type strain of K. setalba is strain KM-6054 (ATCC 33774).
本文描述了产生新抗生素丝裂霉素的新型放线菌菌株的形态、培养、生理和生化特性。该菌株形成气生菌丝体。营养菌丝体无断裂。由于细胞壁类型是一种同时含有LL-和内消旋-2,6-二氨基庚二酸、甘氨酸和半乳糖的新类型，菌株KM-6054无法归类于放线菌目之前命名的任何属。因此，它被认为是一个新属的成员，为此提议将其命名为北里孢菌属。该属的模式种（单型）是白色北里孢菌。白色北里孢菌的模式菌株是菌株KM-6054（ATCC 33774）。
