Summary
A technique is described to separate actinomycetes from other micro-organisms with membrane filters on soil plates. A measured quantity of soil dilution was passed through a membrane filter and the filter with the adhering organisms was placed upside down on a medium provided with soil. After an incubation period of two weeks all actinomycetes had penetrated the filter developing colonies on the sterile surface, whereas the other organisms were retained by the filter. By this procedure the counting and isolation of actinomycetes has been facilitated. The selection of bacteriostatic active forms is practicable by stamping the crowded filter on a medium that contains test bacteria.
