Isolation and morphological characterization of antibiotic producing actinomycetes

Isolation and Characterization of Antibiotic-producing Actinomycetes from hot spring sediment of Thailand

In the course of our investigation for the antibiotic-producing actinomycetes. Thirty-two actinomycete strains were isolated from Thai hot spring sediment. The generic identities of these isolates were determined by using a procedure that combined morphological, chemotaxonomic and 16S rDNA sequence-based phylogenetic analyses. Actinomycetes belonging to a total of 4 genera were identified. They...

Identification and Characterization of Antibiotic-producing Actinomycetes Isolates

Actinomycetes are a gram-positive, filamentous subgroup of bacteria most known for antibiotic production. In fact, most of the antibiotics available today have originated from actinomycetes, namely from the genus Streptomyces. Novel bacteria with antimicrobial activities have been discovered from bacterial screen studies for decades and there is still much more yet to be unearthed. One hundred ...

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, Molecular Characterization and Identification of Antibiotic Producing Actinomycetes from Soil Samples

Article history: Received on: 09/05/2017 Accepted on: 07/07/2017 Available online: 30/09/2017 A total of 9 actinomycetes (FA1-FA9) isolates were isolated from soil and water samples using starch casein agar and actinomycetes isolation agar. Except FA4, all the isolates showed antimicrobal activity against one or more of the bacteria (Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Klebisella pneumonia...
