^Definition of Microbiology – the study of microorganisms‚ which are organisms or agents‚ which are too small to be observed with the unaided eye. Objects having a diameter of less than 0.1mm cannot be seen with out the use of a microscope. Why do we study microbiology? Because microorganisms have a close association with us – the microbes are in us‚ on us and everything around us. They are essential for our own survival – we need them‚ they do not need us. Food Microbiology – a field on applied

RESEARCH PAPER ON BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF ACTINOMYCETES ................ ABSTRACT: The microorganisms are ubiquitous in nature. They are found in probably every environmental condition present on earth. Actinomycetes were originally considered to be an intermediate group between bacteria and fungi but now are recognized as prokaryotic organisms with high G+C (>55%) content in their DNA. Our project aim is to evaluate some biological activities of Actinomycetes like:
