Some approaches to the selective isolation of actinomycetes of the genus Actinomadura from soil are described. The approach that involves thermal treatment of soil samples and their plating onto Gauze 1 medium with the antibiotics nystatin, nalidixic acid, and rubomycin provides for an increased amount of actinomaduras isolated from the soil actinomycete complex and for a decreased amount of streptomycetes.
