A total of 445 actinomycete isolates were obtained from 16 medicinal plant rhizosphere soils. Morphological and chemotaxonomic studies indicated that 89% of the isolates belonged to the genus Streptomyces, 11% were non-Streptomycetes: Actinomadura sp., Microbispora sp., Micromonospora sp., Nocardia...
