title: Media for cultivation of indoor streptomycetes.
abstract: The growth of 10 indoor Streptomyces spp. isolates on nutritionally complex and selective 26 media revealed that the mycelium production had a tendency to increase in order: starch-casein < glycerol-arginine < glucose-tryptone, and NH(4)NO(3) < Na-caseinate-asparagine. Yeast extract increased mycelium biosynthesis, but not always the growth rate. The strains belonging to streptomycetes most common environmental isolates produced visible mycelium in 5 days on all media.
