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.

Detection of Biological Molecules Introduction: Without carbon‚ nitrogen‚ hydrogen‚ sulfur‚ oxygen and phosphorus‚ life wouldn’t exist. These are the most abundant elements in living organisms. These elements are held together by covalent bonds‚ ionic bonds‚ hydrogen bonds‚ and disulfide bonds. Covalent bonds are especially strong‚ thus‚ are present in monomers‚ the building blocks of life. These monomers combine to make polymers‚ which is a long chain of monomers strung together. Biological molecules
