Mesta1* and R Onkarappa2 1Research Scholar, Department of Microbiology, Sahyadri Science College (Autonomous) Kuvempu University, Shivamogga-577203, Karnataka, India. 2Associate Professor, Department of Microbiology, Sahyadri Science College (Autonomous) Kuvempu University, Shivamogga-577203, Karnataka, India. ABSTRACT The oceans cover about 70% of the Earth’s surface and harbor most of the planets biodiversity. The marine environment has become a prime resource in search and discovery for novel natural products and biological diversity and marine actinomycetes turn out to be important contributors. The diversity of marine actinomycetes is enormous and has immense scope for the discovery of novel bioactive metabolites. The present study describes the antimicrobial potential of crude extracts of marine Actinomycetes species isolated from Aghanashini, Sharavathi and Kali estuaries of Uttara Kannada district, Karnataka, India. The sediment and water samples were collected from different sites of estuaries and subjected for serial dilution and plating. A total of 43 actinomycetes isolates were obtained on Starch Casein Nitrate Agar and Kusters Agar supplemented with 10% sea water. The isolates were identified as Actinomycetes by morphological and biochemical studies. The results revealed diversity of Actinomycetes with varying spore, aerial and substrate mycelium colours such as white, grey, pink, yellow and black.

The place is blessed with plenty of tourism potentials like pilgrim centres, reservoirs, dense green forests and tree plantation. They are also places of historical importance and nature are also the assets of the area. Most importantly Marikamba temple is a famous temple in the karnataka. The water has medicinal properties as the water runs through forests of herbs. People come here not only to enjoy the beauty of the water falls, but also to have a bath there example benne hole falls(butter falls) and unchill falls ( Lushington falls). The place is a unique combination of medical tourism and eco-tourism. The Sirsi can be noted as a vast developing tourist spot in the State.
