Abstract

Actinomycetes are the economically and biotechnologically important microorganisms which have the ability to produce wide range of antimicrobial compounds, In view of this, present study was undertaken to isolate and screen the Actinomycetes spp.from rhizosphere soil samples. A total of 20 Actinomycetes were isolated from the soil samples on Actinomycetes isolation agar and identified to Streptomyces and Nocarda spp. Further all the isolates were checked for their antimicrobial potential against 6 human pathogenic bacteria and 2 fungi. 10 isolates showed wide and prominent antibacterial and antifungal activities with zone of inhibitions ranging from 18 to 44 mm. These isolates on further detailed studies could be the good sources for development of new alternative in antimicrobials.
