Actinomycetes have provided a wealth of bioactive secondary metabolites with interesting activities such as antimicrobial, antiviral and anticancer. At present, there is a need to find out novel antimicrobial-producing strains as the pre-existing drugs have failed due to the development of resistance among the microorganisms. The present study is also a little contribution towards this need. The isolates which showed broad-spectrum activity against the test microorganisms can be considered as candidates in regards of searching for potential antimicrobial compounds. The objective of this study was to isolate, identify, and screen the potential antimicrobial-producing actinomycetes from soil. The isolates were identified on the basis of morphological study, different sugar utilization, protein utilization, and hydrolysis tests. They were also characterized on the basis of temperature and pH. Primary screening for antimicrobial activity was carried out against several test organisms. These results highlighted the scope for further characterization of the metabolite and could be a candidate in the generation of new antimicrobial agents.
