Isolation and Characterization of Antagonistic Actinomycetes from Marine Soil

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 ...

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 of Antagonistic Actinomycetes SPS from Rhizosphere of BT Cotton

The plant microbe interaction in the rhizosphere is one of the major factors regulating the health and growth of plants. Actinomycetes are common filamentous soil microorganisms important in maintaining a satisfactory biological balance in the soil, largely because of the ability to produce antibiotics. In the present study Antagonistic Actinomycetes species was isolated from rhizosphere of Bt ...

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...
