As a result of the continuous evolution of microbial pathogens towards antibiotic-resistance, therefore development of new and effective antimicrobial compounds. Source of novel antimicrobial metabolites. Further, the antimicrobial metabolites were extracted from the isolate using ethyl acetate solvents and the antimicrobial efficacies were screened by chemical analysis and tested against bacterial pathogens. The metabolites of isolate showed maximum zone of inhibition against all the pathogens viz., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsilla pneumoniae, Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus as 21 ± 0.12, 20 ± 0.42, 21 ± 1.2, 16 ± 2.01, 15 ± 0.47 respectively. The marine samples which displayed antibacterial activity of actinomycetes may be useful in the clinical conditions where higher secondary metabolites against antibiotic re.. Read More»
