Abstract
The actinobacterial strains were isolated from the soil sediments of estuary region in Puducherry. The isolated strains of Actinobacteria were screened for antimicrobial activities and the strain (actinobacterial strain PAS9) which proved a broad spectrum activity was further selected for detailed biochemical characterizations. The findings confirmed that the selected strain belonged to the genus Streptomyces group. In this study, in addition to the evaluation of the antibacterial activity of the selected strain against a battery of common human pathogens, the strain is to be molecularly evaluated by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene.
