Isolation and characterization of actinomycetes from marine soil

Isolation of L-Glutaminase Producing Marine Actinomycetes

L Glutaminase, a therapeutic enzyme obtained from marine Actinomycetes gains importance because of their adaptability to varied environmental factors. An experimental study was carried out to isolate the L glutaminase producing actinomycetes from the marine sediment of Thoothukudi. Marine sediment sample was collected from six different locations of the Thoothukudi coastal ecosystem, enriched w...

Isolation, antifungal activity and characterization of soil actinomycetes

Actinomycetes were isolated from eight samples of two different habitats, i.e., garden soil and cultivated field soil. Isolation of actinomycetes was carried out on soil extract agar medium using serial dilution method and forty seven isolates were obtained. All these actinomycetes were then assessed for their antifungal activity against two fungal pathogens i.e., Candida albicans and Aspergill...

Isolation and Characterization of Actinomycetes from the Soil of Devathanam – A Foot-hill of Western Ghats

Actinobacteria are well known as secondary metabolites producers and hence of high pharmacological and commercial interest. In this study, soil samples were collected from Devathanam, a small town situated at the foothills of Western Ghats of Virudhunagar District, India and tests were performed to assess the presence of Actinomycetes and their morphology and biochemical activities. Nearly fift...

Isolation and Characterization of Marine Antagonistic Actinomycetes from West Coast of India

A total of 173 actinomycetes colonies were isolated from near shore marine environment and mangrove ecosystem at 8 different locations of Kerala, West Coast of India. Among them, 64 isolates were morphologically distinct on the basis of spore mass colour, reverse side colour, aerial and substrate mycelia formation and production of diffusible pigment. The majority (47%; n=30) of these isolates ...
