Two strains of actinomycetes producing extracellular adenosine deaminase, strain J-845S and strain J-326TK, were isolated from soil. Strain J-845S was gram-positive and non-acid-fast. This strain formed whitish, rod-shaped, smooth and non-motile spores on the aerial mycelium, and the spore chain was spiral. The hyphae of the mycelium branched abundantly. Cell wall chemotypes of the strain were of type I containing LL-diaminopimelic acids, and of phospholipid type II, and then strain J-845S was designated as Streptomyces sp.. Strain J-326TK was gram-positive and non-acid-fast. The hyphae of primary and aerial mycelium fragmented into irregular rod or coccus-like elements. The aerial mycelium either did not branch or sparsely branched. Cell wall composition was of type I and phospholipid type I. Thus, strain J-326TK was identified as Nocardioides sp.
