Recently, the green synthesis of nanoparticles has gained considerable attention due to its benefits such as cost efficiency, simplicity, eco-friendly nature, biocompatibility and broad applications over conventional chemical physical techniques. In this context twenty actinobacteria were isolated from rhizospheric soil wild carrot screened for their pigment producing ability. These isolates be...

Actinomycetes are a diverse group of medically, industrially and ecologically important bacteria, studied as much for the diseases they cause as for the cures they hold. Along with also as a source of industrial important product which are helpful for mankind. However, many of the rare genera of actinomycetes have been neither explored nor manipulated for their biotechnological and industrial p...

The present study was aimed at evaluating the fluorescence property, sporicidal potency against Bacillus and Clostridium endospores, and surface disinfecting ability of biogenic nano silver. The nano silver was synthesized using an actinobacterial cell-filtrate. The fluorescence property as well as imaging facilitator potency of this nano silver was verified adopting spectrofluorometer along wi...

The occurrence of Actinobacteria in water-damaged building materials as well as the clinical relevance of some Actinobacteria (e.g. Saccharopolyspora spp., Mycobacterium spp., Nocardia spp., etc.), led us to develop a detection system to examine the actinobacterial community. A new primer system, Com2xf/Ac1186r (16S rRNA gene based) specific for Actinobacteria was designed. The adequacy for the...

The traditional phenotypic tests are commonly used in actinobacterial identifica‐ tion. They constitute the basis for the formal description of taxa, from species and subspecies up to genus and family. The classical phenotypic characteristics of acti‐ nobacteria comprise morphological, physiological, and biochemical features. The morphology of actinobacteria includes both cellular and colonial ...
