Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleScreening of Actinomycete Isolates from Niche Habitats in Manipur for Antibiotic ActivityDebananda S. Ningthoujam, Suchitra Sanasam, Salam NimaichandProblem statement: The exhaustion of the usual terrestrial sources and the rise of resistant pathogens dictate the search for novel actinomycetes and new antibiotics. In this context, niche habitats such as caves, pristine forests, lakes, rivers, and other wetlands, high salt environments, marine ecosystems and endophytic niches are promising targets for survey of bioactive actinomycetes. Approach: Actinomycetes were isolated from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,765 accessesView PDFCite
