ISOLATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND EVALUATION OF ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITIES OF SECONDARY METABOLITES PRODUCING ACTINOMYCETES OF TERRESTRIAL ORIGIN

Abstract - Microbial secondary metabolites are important sources of natural compounds when compared toothers with potential, beneficial the rapeutic applications. There are chances of discovery of new Streptomyces species and new compounds from there spective genus. Due to ever and over increasing resistance of pathogenic bacteria tour currentarsenal of antibiotics, a great need exists for the isolation and discovery of new antibiotics and other drug agents. Based on the above concept actinomy cetesaremainly targeted for secondary metabolites production and evaluation of compounds therapeutically. Methods.
