Pf. Long et Ge. Amphlett, A SUPER LYTIC ACTINOPHAGE SYSTEM AS A PRETREATMENT IN THE ISOLATION OF NON-STREPTOMYCETE ACTINOMYCETES FROM SOIL, Letters in applied microbiology, 22(1), 1996, pp. 62-65
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.
