β¦ Synopsis
A coal-vitamin medium was developed to isolate actinomycetes from soil, which was superior to other currently used media. It increased the number of actinomycetes and inhibited the growth of other soil bacteria. The pretreatment of soil suspension with peptone (6%) and lauryl sulfate (0.05%) at 50Β°C for 10 min, also greatly increased the number of actinomycetes from soil prior to incubation with new medium.

Actinomycetes play a relevant role in soil ecology and are also of important biotechnological interest as they produce several bioactive metabolites. Within the filamentous actinomycetes, it would be desirable to recognize and characterize environmental samples containing unusual genera. To this end
Twenty-five strains of actinomycetes were isolated from samples of water, soil and tree barks collected at two sites located in the north-east of Algeria. Antimicrobial activity was tested using the agar cylinder method against three Gram-positive bacteria, three Gram-negative bacteria, three yeasts
A method for selective isolation of the amino \(\mathrm{N}\)-terminal peptide from an \(\alpha\)-amino \(\left(N^{\alpha}\right.\) )-blocked protein is presented. The method consists of four steps. First, \(\epsilon-\) amino groups of lysine residues in the protein are succinylated. Second, the deri
