ISOLATION, SCREENING AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ANTIBIOTIC PRODUCING ACTINOMYCETES FROM SOILS IN NORTH GONDAR, NORTH WEST ETHIOPIA

Abstract

Soil environments are largely untapped source for the isolation of new microorganisms with potentiality to produce active secondary metabolites. Among such Microorganisms, actinomycetes are of special interest, since they are known to produce chemically diverse compounds with a wide range of biological activities.
