A bacterial strain, which has been shown to produce herbicidal antibiotics maculosins and phenylacetic acid, was identified as a member of Streptomyces rochei. The identification was based on morphological and physiological characteristics. This is the first bacterial strain that produces maculosins other than a fungus, Alternaria alternata.
