Special growth conditions had been used to support the growth of M.xanthusand to suppressed the growth of other microorganisms like (Drying , High concentration of antibiotics and specific growth media)M.. xanthusisolates had been subjected to the morphological, cultural and biochemical examinations for identification . Resultsobtaindcould be summarized as follows : 1. Myxobacteria were found as normal flora inhabitants of the arid soils. 2. Ten local isplates of M. xanthus out of (50) soil samples were isolated as fruiting bodies depending on baiting technique by baker ' s yeast. 3.
