Abstract
Totally 57 actinobacteria isolates were obtained from four sediment samples collected from four different seasons (pre monsoon, post monsoon, summer and monsoon) of Palk Strait region situated along the, South East coast of India. Among them, 6 dominant isolates in all seasons were found to be morphologically identified on the basis of color of front mycelium and reverse side color formation and sporophore morphology. The primary identification of this isolates were based on biochemical and physiological characteristics of the isolated strains. Furthermore, the analysis of nucleotide sequence of the 16SrRNA sequencing. Six isolates were assigned to the actinobacteria Streptomyces niveoruber, S.heliomycini, S.flavomacrosporus, Lechevalieria aerocolonigenes, L.flava andDactylosporancium vinaceum.
