ABSTRACT
The search for potential bioactive compounds from the natural environment had rapidly been gaining momentum with the increase in the multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens. In the present study, the antimicrobial potential of actinomycetes has been evaluated by initial screening of one soil samples. Secondary screening was performed against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio chlorae, Shawanella putrefaciens Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans and bacterial and fungal test strains, twenty active isolates were selected for further study. Microbial strains were identified on the basis of growth conditions and other biochemical characters. In conclusion, we study the isolation and bacterial strains of actinomycetes for producing potential compounds having antibacterial and antifungal activities from the Temple tank - actinomycetes from the Karaikal region.
