Abstract

Microbiology Medical Microbiology
An isolation method was developed in which prior to inoculation soil suspensions were exposed to suspensions of polyvalent phage isolated to Streptomyces spp. The phage susceptibility of streptomycetes provided a selective means of reducing streptomycetes on isolation plates subsequent to inoculation, and this reduction was persistent after long incubation periods. The efficiency and applicability of the method developed were checked with different samples from a range of sources. The increased chances of development of other genera after the reduction of streptomycetes on soil dilution plates were assessed.
