Studies on actinobacteria of marine habitats are gaining international importance due to proven abilities of novel compound production. Information on actinobacteria of the marine environments is less and hence the present studies were optimum at higher temperature, which indicates that they are thermophilic in nature. It can be conducted that the two strains (TA-1 and TA-2) belong to two different genera viz. Rhodococcus (TA-1) and Streptosporangium (TA-2). Actinobacterial strains were isolated from the sediment samples collected from the mud volcano, of the Baratang Island andaman and Nicobar group of islands. Out of a total of six isolates, two different actinobacterial strains (TA-1 and TA-2) were selected based on the morphological distinct colour of spore mass, riverside colour, arial and mycelia format production of diffusible pigment sporophore and colony morphology. Morphological studies indicated that the strains belonged to two different genera viz. Rhodococcus (TA-1) and Streptosporangium (TA-2). The strain had no aerial mycelium and analysis of the strain TA-1 showed fragmented rods, filaments and hyphae, and the strain TA-2 showed that the formed globosa sporangia on the surface of the colony liberated non-motile spores.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
