Abstract
A method is described for directly observing submerged growth of streptomycetes, which can be easily adapted for investigations of filamentously growing fungi. The use of an image processing system allowed a fast and accurate calculation of important morphological parameters. Most of the images can be analysed on-line. Some results are presented for early growth and branching of Streptomyces tendae. It seems that mechanisms for growth of streptomycetes were the same for both solid and liquid media.
