Abstract
An increase in the abundance and diversity of non-streptomycete actino mycetes isolated from soils was achieved after the number of streptomy cetes was reduced by pre-incubating the soil with streptomycete-specif ic actinophage. This method is described as a super lytic actinophage system.
