Actinomycetes have provided important bioactive compounds of high commercial value and continue to be routinely screened for new bioactive substances. There is an alarming scarcity of new antibiotics currently under development in the pharmaceutical industry. The present study highlights the isolation and characterization of haloalkaliphilic actinomycetes with respect to their antimicrobial potential. A total of 14 halophilic, alkaliphilic and haloalkaliphilic actinomycete isolates were isolated from the saline soil samples collected from the saline desert of Kutch under varied conditions of...
