title: Physiological and antagonistic potential of actinomycetes from loquat rhizosphere.
abstract: The microflora of Eriobotrya japonica (loquat) was studied by the serial dilutions-spread plate method. A variety of bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes was detected. The genus Steptomyces dominated in the population (83%). A great species diversity was found among Streptomycetes. Some of the actinomycetes possessed antibacterial activity (47%), others produced different exo-enzymes.
