ISOLATION, IDENTIFICATION AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF HALOPHILIC ACTINOMYCETES FROM SAMBAI SALTPAN, RAMANATHAPURAM, INDIA Authors: Vigneshwari J And Senthilkumar PK*
ABSTRACT
Halophilic actinomycetes isolated from the saltpan soil samples of sambai
saltpan,ramanathaburam,tamilnadu,india.SHA-1 strains are shows the best antagonistic and
antibacterial activity against the Gram Positive- Stapylocoocus aureus, Stapylocoocus
saprophyticus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Enterococus faecalis, Enterobacter aerogens and
Gram negative- Escherichia coli ,Salmonella typhi, Klebsiella pneumoniae ,pseudomonas
aeruginosa and serratia marcescens. The potential strains were confirmed genus level as
Streptomyces sp by morphological, physiological and biochemical identification.
Morphological identification was done by gram staining shows filamentous branch structure
and SEM analysis shows the 2µm in size. The exploration of new antibiotics are isolated
from unexploted saline environments.
