Ten strains of thermophilic actinomycetes were isolated from waste and mushroom composts, as well as from the air of compost plants and a refuse incineration plant in Germany. These organisms produce white aerial mycelia and form hyphae with so-called pseudosporangia that fragment into rod-like stru...
