Characterization of Actinomycetes Isolated from Fallen Leaves

Abstract

We tried to isolate actinomycetes from fallen leaves by using three methods ; the topping, the agar layered and the extraction methods. A large number of rare actinomycetes were isolated from fallen leaves. The genus Microbispora was high frequency in the samples of bamboo (Sasa and Pleioblastus) and loosestrife (Lythrum).
