• characterization
• 16S rDNA gene

Streptomyces species were isolated from rhizospheric soils collected from different localities in Mahikeng, North West Province of South Africa. A total of 84 isolates were obtained from 5 rhizospheric soil samples, highest number of isolated were recovered from maize (Zen mays) rhizosphere. The genus Streptomyces was identified by cultural, morphological, physiological and molecular analyses. 26 culturally distinct isolates were identified to the species level by 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis. The sequences of 16S rDNA gene of the isolates matched with Streptomyces but different species in BLAST analysis, similarities ranging between 100%-91%. Rhizosphere can be considered as inexhaustible resource of microorganisms that can be harness for possible exploration.
