ABSTRACT THE Actinomycetes have properties intermediate between those of the fungi and those of the bacteria. As in practically all bacteria and in many fungi, a sexual cycle is not known to
occur in the Actinomycetes. In some bacteria and Fungi Imperfecti1, however, there are parasexual processes2, that is, processes leading to genetic recombination otherwise than via sexual
reproduction. The present communication reports the discovery of a recombination process in an Actinomycete, _Streptomyces coelicolor_ Reiner-Müller. Access through your institution Buy or
