Distribution of actinomycetes in different soil ecosystems and effect of media composition on extracellular phosphatase activity

Actinomycetes are widely distributed in different habitats and involved in important processes. Therefore, evaluation of their distribution is important in understanding their ecological role. Ninety seven samples were taken from different soil ecosystems (forest, pasture, rain-fed and irrigated cul...

Distribution of actinomycetes in different soil ecosystems and effect of media composition on extracellular phosphatase activity
description Actinomycetes are widely distributed in different habitats and involved in important processes. Therefore, evaluation of their distribution is important in understanding their ecological role.
