The quantitative content of Group I antagonists in the extreme ecosystems of Kazakhstan

Subgroups of actinomycetes	Quantitative content of antagonists, %1
	Antibacterial activity (gram-positive bacteria, S. aureus)	Antibacterial activity (gram-negative bacteria, E. coli)	Antifungal activity (A. niger)
2Southern Kazakhstan	N = a	N = b	N = c
Subgroup IA	55.4	41.2	41.4
Subgroup IB	34	37.3	29.3
Subgroup IC	10.6	21.5	29.3
3Northern Kazakhstan	N′ = x	N′ = y	N′ = z
Subgroup IA	72.3	41.7	29.6
Subgroup IB	21	19.4	40.7
Subgroup IC	6.7	38.9	25.9

¹Note – Total activity for the three subgroups IA, IB, and IC add up to 100%, for each kind of antibacterial or antifungal activity tested.

²Note-Total number (N) of actinomycetes strains from Southern Kazakhstan tested was 1,263.

³Note-Total number (N) of actinomycetes strains from Northern Kazakhstan tested was 756.
