The total 70 Actinomycete isolates were obtained from soil by performing serial Actinomyce tes, dilution technique and using Glycerol asparagine agar supplemented with Genus, Cycloheximide (100µg/ml). Actinomycete isolates were primarily identified to Streptomyces , genus level on the basis of their microscopic and cultural characteristics. Tyrosinase, Biochemical and other characters were used to identify isolates to species level. A Screening . total 70 Actinomycete isolates were identified by using modified DOS based MICRO-IS software such as PIBWin. Out of 70 Actinomycete isolates total Article Info 82.85% isolates were belonged to genus Streptomyces, 10% isolates were belonged Accepted: to genus Streptoverticillum, 2.8571% isolates were belonged to Nocardia, 2.8571% 15 February 2016 isolates were belonged to genus Micromonospora and rest of the 1.4285% isolate Available Online: were belonged to Actinomadura. The primary screening of 70 isolates for 10, March 2016 tyrosinase production were carried out and isolates were showed positive tyrosinase activity. Introduction The word actinomycete was taken from the unicellular organisms, belonging to order Greek. It has made from two different words actinomycetales highlighted with substrate and aerial mycelial growth (Lechevalier and such as ''atkis'' (a ray) and ''mykes'' (fungus), possess characteristics of both bacteria and Lechevalie, 1981). Actinomycetes reproduce fungi. Actinomycetes bear almost either by fission or by means of special distinctive features than bacteria and fungi, spores or conidia. They possess high (G+C) so they fixed into separate class. content in their DNA which is above 55 mol Actinomycetes are aerobic, spore forming, percent.
