Actinomycetes are a versatile group of Gram positive bacteria
widely distributed in the terrestrial and aquatic environments. The
specialty of the actinomycetes is that they have a mycelial
appearance unlike most bacteria. This group of bacteria is well
known for their ability to produce a range of bioactive molecules,
including antibiotics and various kinds of enzymes. As they are
known for their ability to produce various antibiotics, the
actinomycetes are widely explored by various research groups in
search of novel drug molecules. Since the cultivation and
maintenance of actinobacteria are not that easy as in the case of
other bacteria, they are rather underexplored. With the frequent
emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria, which are outpacing the
discovery of new antibiotics, there is a renewed interest in
actinomycetes from special habitats such as extreme habitats in the
marine environment, salt pans, geothermal springs, permanently
frozen polar environments etc. Endophytic actinomycetes are also
attracting the attention of current researchers in this field. This
book titled "A Closer Look at Actinomycetes" is a compilation of
articles which deals with interesting topics such as "actinomycetes
as microbial drug factories", endophytic fungi from special
habitats of Pakistan as well as strategies for exploration of
actinomycetes diversity and the taxonomy of actinomycetes should be
of great interest to those who are interested in Actinomycetes
research. People with interest in general microbiology will also
find it an interesting read.
