conclusions preliminary results indicate that the native iranian actinobacteria could be considered a suitable option for screening of the new antibacterial compounds. molecular research and antibacterial compound extraction against the aforementioned pathogenic strains are also being conducted. results based on the morphological characterization, 35 isolated cases belonged to actinomycetes and...

conclusions this study showed that the collected soil from studied areas was rich of keratinophilic fungi and actinomycetes, therefore hygiene protocol should be taken to prevent the spread of pathogenic and saprophytes fungi in the environment of susceptible person. background keratinophilic fungi are a group of fungi that colonize in various keratinous substrates and degrade them to the compo...

Actinomycetes can be symbionts in diverse organisms, including both plants and animals. Some actinomycetes benefit their host by producing small molecule secondary metabolites; the resulting symbioses are often developmentally complex. Actinomycetes associated with three cone snails were studied. Cone snails are venomous tropical marine gastropods which have been extensively examined because of...

Actinomycetes play an important role in the decomposition of various organic materials and replenish the supply of nutrients in the soil. They also produce many secondary metabolites possessing antimicrobial properties. The present study was conducted to determine the antibacterial and enzyme producing capabilities of soil Actinomycetes isolated from Nahargarh hill area, Jaipur, Rajasthan, Indi...

Co-culturing of actinomycetes is a classical approach used to enhance bioactivity. In this study, co-culturing of terrestrial and marine actinomycetes was performed to obtain increased anticancer cytotoxic activity. Crude extract prepared from co-cultured isolates showed increased anticancer activity. Although normal and healthy actinomycetes filament was observed during co-culture, spore forma...

merous than fungi, these organisms used to be suppressed by acidifying the agar medium to pH 4 to 5, but this has been made unnecessary by the addition of rose bengal to suitable media (N. R. Smith and V. T. Dawson, Soil Sci. 58:467, 1944). Counts of fungi were even higher in media containing rose bengal than in acidified media (J. P. Martin, Soil Sci. 69:215, 1960). Actinomycetes grow more slo...

The present study was carried out in order to establish a suitable protocol for the screening of phosphate solubilizing actinomycetes. 10 isolates with distinct morphology were isolated and purified on starch casein agar from forest soils of Mahabubnagar district, Andhra Pradesh. These isolates screened for phosphate solubilizing activity on modified starch casein agar which contains tricalcium...

Deep sea is a unique and extreme environment. It is a hot spot for hunting marine actinomycetes resources and secondary metabolites. The novel deep sea actinomycete species reported from 2006 to 2016 including 21 species under 13 genera with the maximum number from Microbacterium, followed by Dermacoccus, Streptomyces and Verrucosispora, and one novel species for the other 9 genera. Eight gener...

An experiment was conducted during 2021-22 at Agricultural Research Station, Kattuthottam, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu to identify the impact of biological parameters on different cropping sequences. Three soil samples were randomly taken from each replication every treatment making a total 90 in season sequences active vegetative stage. The size plot is 40m2. Samples analysed for viz., Urease, Acid ...
