Microbial Ecological Distribution of Marine Actinomycetes Isolated from L
Actinomycetes are threadlike or filamentous, Gram positive bacteria that form branching filaments with hyphae and asexual spores. The hyphae are usually septate or coenocytic in nature. The aim of this study was to investigate the microbial ecological distribution of marine actinomycetes isolated from the Lagos Atlantic Ocean, South West Nigeria. Marine (soil and water) samples were collected from about 10 m deep from Lagos Lagoon and Atlantic Ocean. Starch Casein agar was prepared aseptically.
