ABSTRACT.
During an investigation on soil actinomycetes from two plant nurseries in
Jordan, sixty streptomycetes were recovered. Of these 73% showed antibiotic
activity against bacteria and eleven also against Agrobacterium
tumefaciens. In order to exploit their potential for biological control of
crown gall, the latter were investigated in detail and identified to the
species level.
