Ashok G., Karthikeyan P., Pann

Abstract

Totally seven actinomycetes were isolated from Mangrove soil region of Maravakkadu Reserve forest, Thanjavur district. Tamil Nadu. Antimicrobial activity was carried out for 3 dominant species of wild and UV mutated strains of these isolates against five human pathogenic bacteria and five fungal pathogens. The wild type strain Streptomyces albus showed maximum antimicrobial activity and it was subjected to Gas Chromatography with Mass Spectrometry analysis to find out the bioactive compounds.
