Medically important thermophilic actinomycetes were isolated from 218 (64%) of 341 samples of vegetable substrates and soil examined from sites in north-western India. Thermoactinomyces vulgaris (T. candidus) was the commonest species, occurring in 56% of samples, followed by Saccharomonospora virid
25 species of actinomycetes were tested for the occurrence of lectins. Using a battery of normal and desialized erythrocytes, each species was screened for 3 types of lectin activity i.e. surface bound, extracellular and intracellular. As many as 13 species showed one or more types of activity; some
