Isolation and partial characterization of pigment‐like antibiotics produced by a new strain of Streptosporangium isolated from an Algerian soil
Aims:  Identification of a new actinomycete strain Sg3, belonging to the genus Streptosporangium and partial characterization of the produced antibacterial activities.
A method for isolating strains of the genus Streptoverticillium from soil
Members of the genera Streptomyces, Micromonospora, Nocardia and Streptosporangium were effectively inhibited by oxytetracycline at concentrations tolerated by a majority of the Streptoverticillium…
Selective isolation of bioactive soil actinomycetes belonging to the Streptomyces violaceusniger phenotypic cluster
Aims:  To devise and evaluate a strategy for isolating members of the Streptomyces violaceusniger phenotypic cluster, which are known to be a promising source of bioactive metabolites.
Nutritional Characterization of Some Selected Actinomycetes
TLDR
The methodology for an extensive nutritional analysis of actinomycetes is described, and the results are discussed on the basis of their taxonomic and ecological implications.
