- Abstract
- Sixteen representatives of three morphologically distinct groups of streptomycetes were recovered from soil using selective isolation procedures. Duplicated batches of the test strains were examined by Curie-point pyrolysis mass spectrometry and the first data set used for conventional multivariate statistical analyses and as a training set for an artificial neural network. The second set of data was used for 'operational finger-printing' and for testing the artificial neural network. All of the test strains were correctly identified using the artificial neural network whereas only fifteen of the sixteen strains were assigned to the correct group using the conventional operational fingerprinting procedure. Artificial neural network analysis of pyrolysis mass spectrometric data provides a rapid, cost-effective and reproducible way of identifying and typing large numbers of microorganisms.
