The data on the study of various soils and substrates for isolation of Micromonospora from them are presented. It was shown that Micromonospora predominated in moist soils and especially in such substrates as silts where their content with respect to the all actinomycetous isolates amounted to 88.9 per cent. In the silts the content of Micromonospora amounted to 66.6--83 per cent, in the sopromely its content was 66 per cent, while in the ordinary non-moist soil its content was from 6 to 11 per cent. Predominance of Micromonospora in silts and moist soils makes its directed search possible.
