Abstract
Streptomyces is an aerobic, Gram-positive, and filamentous bacteria. The filaments yield economical use of nutrients within the rhizosphere, and they allow Streptomyces to colonize the substrates higher than living microorganisms. After the serial dilution of soil sample, pour-plate technique is performed using starch casein agar (SCA) medium, and inoculated plates were at room temperature for 7 days. The morphological identification of Streptomyces is performed by coverslip technique.
