Abstract

Some actinomycetes were isolated from the soil samples collected from Kanyakumari Tirunelveli Dindigul Coimbatore and the Nilgiri districts of Western Ghats in Tamil Nadu India They were screened for antibacterial and antifungal activities Among the strains of actinomycetes isolated from the soil samples isolates were active against more than tested pathogens Five isolates were potentially active against more than tested pathogens These five isolates were identified by S rDNA sequence anaylsis and the sequences were submitted to GenBank These five isolates were sensitive to vancomycin They all grew well at C Two isolates namely ERI and ERI showed very high inhibitory activity against E faecalis and C albicans These can be probed further for their use in controlling pathogens
