Abstract Dermatophytes were considered as pathogenic fungi that invade human skin, nails and hairs and cause dermatomycosis. One hundred and eleven were isolated from both marine and terrestrial Egyptian habitats were screened for their ability to produce bioactive secondary metabolites with antidermatophytic this has been done by cultivating them on ISP2 liquid media for 10 days. The antdermatophytic activity was tested for the produced extracts by well-diffusion methods. Extracts from isolates A1, A3, A10, G5 and P4 exhibited potent antidermatophytic activity against trichophyton mentagrophytes (RCMB 09285), Microsporumcanis (RCMB 07321) and Microsporumgypseum (RCMB 07336). These potent isolates were identified by studying their morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics and microscopical studies.

Introduction Natural products (secondary metabolites) Actinomycetes, the cultivable group of considered the most important source of Gram-positive, filamentous bacteria from potential drug leads to be used diverse ecological niches, they are in drug discovery [1], furthermore there is saprophytes and are responsible for the an urgent need to discover new antibiotic degradation of complex biopolymers [5]. to counter and reverse the spread of Actinomycetes considered as one of the antibiotic resistant pathogens [2] and to most important suppliers of antibiotics. combat life-threatening diseases [3]. Even Further, they can produce an array of though there are a considerable progress secondary metabolites, many of which within the fields of chemical synthesis and have antibacterial or antifungal engineered biosynthesis of antimicrobial properties. In fact, most antibiotics compounds, nature still remains the most developed from human pharmaceutical important source for new antibiotics [4]. use are produced by actionmycetes, and ©JIPBS, All rights reserved Mohamed Fadel et al., JIPBS, Vol 3 (2), 155-165, 2016 many being derived from Streptomyces sp.

All the samples were kept in differentiation.
