ABSTRACT:
Bhilai is the most industrial region of Chhattisgarh. The industrial area of Bhilai Soil samples were collected from five different sites. Soils found near industries are affected by industrial effluents. The strong impacts of industry on soil are chemical contamination, physical alterations, and changes in microbial communities. Five soil samples were collected from cement, iron, and steel manufacturing industries in various areas of Bhilai. Soil samples were examined for their chemical and physical properties. A total of 34 isolates were isolated from different samples. The isolates were characterized primarily by their morphology, which included size, shape, configuration, elevation, margin, pigmentation, and the presence or absence of aerial and substrate mycelium. This piece of research provides elaborate and analytical details and distribution of Actinomycetes inhabited in industrial soil. All total, 34 isolates were characterized as Actinomycetes according to morphological characteristics. The results also revealed their ability to produce secondary metabolites, as well as their antimicrobial properties, which inhibit microbial growth.
