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
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
