Abstract.  
 
In the course of an investigation into foaming in activated 
sludge sewage treatment plants, a micromanipulation method for 
the isolation of the predominant foaming actinomycetes was 
employed. The Skerman Micromanipulator was the best method of 
confidently and quickly (pure cultures in 5-10 min) isolating 
the poorly competitive, slow growing, morphologically 
distinctive nocardioforms that were observed to comprise the 
bulk of the foam. One newly described foaming actinomycete 
(Nocardia pinensis), has never been isolated by any 
other method. Nocardioforms from many regions of the world 
have been isolated using this technique.
