The search for antibiotic producing soil actinomycetes to inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms has Accepted 6. 11. 2017 become widespread due to the need for newer antibiotics. The present work was aimed to isolate soil actinomycetes from pinus tree Published 1. 12. 2017 rhizosphere from Doddabetta, Western Ghats, Tamil Nadu, India. Thirty one actinomycetes were isolated based on heterogeneity and stability in subculturing; they were screened against 5 Gram positive and 7 Gram negative bacteria in an in vitro antagonism assay. In the preliminary screening, out of 31 isolates, 12.09% showed good antagonistic activity; 25.08% showed moderate activity; 19.35% Regular article showed weak activity and 41.93% showed no activity against the tested bacteria. Among the isolates tested, DPR20 showed good antibacterial activity against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.

This strain was found to produce a new hydroxamic acid-contain- ing molecule with interesting antimicrobial activities towards various multidrug-resistant micro-organ- isms. Although hydroxamic acid-containing molecules are known to exhibit low toxicities in general, only real evaluations of the toxicity levels could decide on the applications for which this new molecule is potentially most appropriate. Thus, this article provides a new framework of research. Keywords Abstract antimicrobial activity, hydroxamic acid, Streptomyces, structure elucidation, During screening for potentially antimicrobial actinobacteria, a highly taxonomy. antagonistic strain, designated WAB9, was isolated from a Saharan soil of Algeria.
