background and objective: uttarakhand region is less explored, but possess a great biodiversity. this diversity can be explored for isolation and characterization of new actinomycetes strains for seeking antimicrobial molecules. it can therefore be predicted that novel bioactive metabolite producing actinomycetes can be discovered to combat multidrug resistant bacterial pathogens. materials and...

ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 5 Number 7 (2016) pp. 100-116 Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas.com Endophytes are organisms that are intimately associated with various parts of plants. Endophytic actinomycetes represent actinomycetes of various genera that are associated with various parts of the plants. The beneficial interactions of endophytic actinomycetes with plants are being considered as an im...

Marine symbiotic actinomycetes play a key role in drug development and their ecological niches can influence variety of natural product biosynthesis, providing potential defensive benefits. In this study, we report the whole-genome sequence analysis marine gastropod mollusk Planaxis sp.-associated Streptomyces griseus SCSIO PteL053, which harbors 28 putative biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). A...

Microorganisms found in extreme environments have attracted a great deal of attention, due to the production by such microorganisms of various natural compounds and their specialized mechanisms for adaption to extreme environments1-4). But relatively little research work has been done on actinomycetes found in extreme environments5). For example, the nutritional requirements of actinomycetes un...

Actinomycetes are considered as one of the most diverse groups of filamentous bacteria capable of thriving into different types of ecological niches due to their bioactive potential. The main objective of the present study was Isolation and Screening of Actinomycetes from soil of Dal Lake of Kashmir region and characterized for morphological identification and evaluated for antibacterial activi...

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...
