Abstract

Actinomycete communities demonstrated a replacement of the generic composition in time as a function of soil moisture. Representatives of the genera Streptomyces, Micromonospora, Actinomadura, Saccharopolyspora, and Microbispora were repeatedly isolated from soil under different moisture conditions (field capacity, maximum molecular capacity, and maximum adsorption capacity). Representatives of some rare genera (Thermomonospora and Kibdelosporangium) were isolated from soil with low moisture levels inhibiting growth of more hydrophilic actinomycetes and bacteria. Spores of some actinomycetes could grow at low relative air humidity (RH) (50 and 67%). The complete growth cycle of all actinomycetes starting from spore germination to sporulation was observed only at RH of 98%.
