A REVIEW ON ACTINOMYCETES Authors: Prajapati P , PATEL AM, UPADHAYAY D, ANDHARE P
ABSTRACT
Actinomycetes are Gram-positive microorganisms. Recent studies of actinomycetes have
widely distributed into different ecology and soil is best source of actinomycetes were
commonly found. Actinomycetes are classified based on their morphology. Actinomycetes
have different characteristics. Actinomycetes produce different types of bioactive compounds.
Total 22,500 secondary metabolites produced by actinomycetes species and this bioactive
compound act as antibacterial therapeutic agent. Due to their therapeutic agent, they act as
antimicrobial against various infection. Actinomycetes produces enzymes and these enzymes
have many importance in different field.
