SCREENING OF BIOACTIVE ACTINOMYCETES FROM SUGARCANE SOILS
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Actinomycetes and Streptomyces are once considered to be microbiological curiosities of no great economic importance, but have become the subjects of intensive searches for source of new biologically active compounds. The demonstrated ability of these microorganisms to produce useful antibiotics and to carry out other transformations of commercial interest as focused attention of factors bearing on their isolation from their natural habitat. It would be desirable, therefore to be able to isolate aerobic soil inhabiting actinomycetes with a minimum of interference from associated bacteria and higher fungi. There have been a number of reports in the literature dealing with selective isolation of the higher fungi and the expense of bacteria or the expense of moulds. Several investigators used antibiotics as the selective agents. In view of the above systematic screening was undertaken to isolate bioactive actinomycetes from natural sources.
