About 18 actinomycetes isolates were isolated from soils of Shimoga characterized by morphological and biochemical methods as Nocardia, Streptomycetes, and Streptosporangium. When screened for antimicrobial activity by cross streak method, isolate kss1 completely arrested growth of S.typhi, isolate kss2 inhibited B.subtilis. S.aureus was inhibited by isolate kss4, and isolate kss3 restricted fungi A.niger.
