Abstract: Actinomycete spores having various shapes and ornamentation were suspended in soil, and their removal by elution with water was examined. Spores of Streptomyces sp. strains SS-22, SS-28 and SS-254 isolated from shallow sea muds were rapidly removed. The precipitation of these spores in suspension with either distilled water or saline water was examined. Sodium chloride was found to accelerate the precipitation of most strains. The effect of temperature and salt concentration on actinomycete growth was examined and growth of most strains was found to be retarded by low temperature and high salt concentration. All strains survived under the test conditions, except Streptomyces aureofaciens. One strain of this species was unable to survive culturing in 3.5 % NaCl, for 10 days at 15°C.
