title: [Alkaliphilic soil actinomycetes].
abstract: The actinomycete complex of alkaline soils was found to be dominated by alkaliphilic streptomycetes, which showed maximal radial rates of colony growth at pH 8. At pH values of 7 and 10, the growth of these streptomycetes was poor. Alkaliphilic streptomycetes can be morphologically differentiated from other actinomycetes based on their high radial rates of colony growth and increased spore formation in alkaline media as compared to neutral media.
