Linkage data, obtained by a combination of selective analysis of haploid recombinants and analysis of segregating heterozygotes, are given for twenty-eight loci in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). This brings the total known loci for the organism to thirty-nine. The two linkage groups previously recognized remain separate, and their lengths have been increased to about 60 and 70 recombination units respectively. Whether the two linkage groups correspond to two chromosomes remains an open question.

Three further examples of close linkage of pairs of functionally related loci have been found (a trio of such loci was already known), and three other pairs provide possible examples of the same phenomenon. Some loci which are clustered in Salmonella are unlinked in Streptomyces.
