Filamentous actinomycetes are commercially widely used as producers of natural products (in particular antibiotics) and of industrial enzymes. However, the mycelial lifestyle of actinomycetes, resulting in highly viscous broths and unfavorable pellet formation, has been a major bottleneck in their commercialization. Here we describe the successful morphological engineering of industrially impor...

Actinomycetes are a source of a broad variety of secondary metabolites with diverse biological activities, such as antifungi, antibiotics and antitumorals; many of which have been developed for clinical use. In this study, 34 actinomycetes from untouched soils were isolated from Alborz Province-Iran. Evaluation ofantifungal and anti bacterial activities of these isolates, demonstrated the capab...

abstract edible white button mushroom is a secondary decomposer and the activity of other micro-organisms is necessary to decompose the raw compounds for its growth. actinomycetes bacteria due to their ability to decompose the compound molecules such as cellulose, lingo-cellulose and lignin, play an important role in the composting process for the mushroom. bacterial biomass of actinomycetes co...

Traditional medicine that has been adopted by other population (outside its indigenous culture) is often termed alternative or complementary medicine. Herbal medicines include herbs, herbal materials, herbal preparations, and finished herbal products that contain parts of plants or other plant materials as active ingredients. Ayurveda, the ancient science of life. New chemical entities are requ...

This field study investigated the relationship between indoor and outdoor concentrations of airborne actinomycetes, fungal spores, and pollen. Air samples were collected for 24 h with a button inhalable aerosol sampler inside and outside of six single-family homes located in the Cincinnati area (overall, 15 pairs of samples were taken in each home). The measurements were conducted during three ...

Background and Objectives In the present study, the Lut Desert, Iran was chosen as one of the hottest places in the world (with the recorded temperature of 70.7°C during 2003-2009) to find out whether any heat-resistant microorganisms were present in the soil. Materials and Methods The samples were collected from surface and depth of three identified places of Gandom Beryan in the Lut Desert....

screening of microorganisms for the production of novel antibiotics has been intensivelypursued for many years by scientists. actinomycetes have the capability to synthesize manydifferent antibiotics. a total of 69 actinomycete isolates were recovered from soil samplescollected from alborz province. selected colonies (rough, chalky) of actinomycetes werepurified. all screened isolates were iden...
