Abstract

This paper reported that the authors isolated large numbers of myxobacteria from more than 100 samples collected in many places of China. More than 400 pure strains were obtained. These strains belonged to 10 genera of Myxococcales. The most frequent genera isolated were Myxococcus, Sorangium, Corallococcus, and Cystobacter. Melittangium was seldom isolated. No Chondromyces and Haploangium were found.
