The composition of an arginine-glycerol-salt medium (AGS), suitable for the selective isolation of aerobic actinomycetes, was given. When soil samples were treated with calcium carbonate and plated on the AGS medium, higher total and relative plate counts of actinomycetes were obtained than when other media and methods were used.
