The combination of mangrove, rocky and coral reef habitats make it an interesting area for studying microbial population. The present study discusses the distribution status of 643 isolates of Actinobacteria isolated from the marine sediments along the coast of Andaman group of Islands at a depth from 0 to 10m. Spatially, the coast of South Andaman harbours most number of isolates (290) than the other zones and among these, the highest (7.5%) was isolated from Marina Park. Bathymetrically, the highest number of isolates (269) was recorded from 0 – 1 m depth zone and the most number was isolated from Burmanallah. Among these, <span class="CharOverride-6">Streptomyces </span>spp. was found to be highly dominant (83.4%) spatially as well as bathymetrically. Other genera identified were <span class="CharOverride-6">Streptoverticillium</span> spp.,<span class="CharOverride-6"> Streptosporangia </span>spp.<span class="CharOverride-6">, Nocardia </span>spp.<span class="CharOverride-6">, Micromonospora </span>spp., <span class="CharOverride-6">Actinoplanes</span> spp. and<span class="CharOverride-6"> Actinomadura </span>spp. Highest percentage of <span class="CharOverride-6">Streptomyces</span> spp. was recorded from Burmanallah (7.3 %). Marina Park and Science Centre stations recorded highest number of <span class="CharOverride-6">Streptoverticillium</span> spp. (11.1% each) and <span class="CharOverride-6">Nocardia</span> spp. was found more in Carbyn’s Cove. <span class="CharOverride-6">Micromonospora</span> spp., <span class="CharOverride-6">Streptosporangium</span> spp. and <span class="CharOverride-6">Actinoplanes</span> spp. were recorded only from few stations and <span class="CharOverride-6">Actinomadhura</span> spp. was found only from two stations. In general, the number of isolates decreased from the shore to deeper areas. The mangrove and rocky habitats harbours had more number of Actinobacteria than the sandy and reef ecosystems. The present study have confirmed the potential of this region in terms of actinobacterial diversity and can form a baseline for further research in marine pharmacology.</p>

			<p class="Caps-on-First-Para">&nbsp;</p>
		  <p class="Caps-on-First-Para"><span class="_idGenDropcap-1">A</span>ndaman and Nicobar Islands contribute almost 26% (1960km) of 7500km coastline of India and the coast is gifted with rich biodiversity (Roy, 2003). The entire coastal region of Andaman group of islands is composed of an amalgamation of mangrove forests, coral reefs, rocky, sandy or muddy shores, which are mostly unpolluted (Dagar and Singh, 1999). The mangrove forests support a wide range of animals for their feeding and breeding due to the high productivity resulting from the high influx of nutrients by the activities like heavy leaf littering and tidal fluctuations (Mandal and Naskar, 2008). This high organic load in turn supports a variety of microbial population in the sediment and water (Maria et al., 2006; Farooqui et al., 2012). The coral reef habitats are furthermore diverse and extend to more than 30 m depth towards the sea from the shore. Habitat associations like mangrove and reef habitats with rocky, sandy and muddy coastal regions also support a higher diversity along the coast (Qasim and Wafar, 1990).</p>
		  <p class="Caps-on-First-Para">&nbsp;</p>
			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">The disastrous earthquake of 26 December 2004 has caused submergence of some of the Islands and upheaval of some other Islands. Consequently, virgin land areas were exposed to wave attack (Roy et al., 2009). Andaman and Nicobar Islands, considered as the richest source for microbial community. The marine microbial taxa and actinomycetes diversity are not been fully explored (Abirami et al., 2013). So in the post tsunami scenario it is very imperative to evaluate the microbial wealth especially marine Actinobacteria in the modified coastal environment along the Bay Island. These microbes are considered to be terrestrial in origin and believed to occur in the ocean largely as dormant spores that were washed into the sea (Jensen et al., 2005; Goodfellow and Haynes, 1984). According to Takizawa et al. (1993) marine Actinomycetes are distributed throughout the marine environment from shallow to deep sediments. They are isolated from different depths, but it is found that littoral inshore zone is most favourable for their survival (Mincer<span class="CharOverride-5"> </span>et al., 2002).</p>
		  <p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">&nbsp;</p>
			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">Actinomycetes are well known as potent producers of a variety of secondary metabolites with distinct biological activities (Berdy, 2005; Ben et al., 2006), including AMSs active against both pathogenic (Sun et al., 2011; Xiong et al., 2012) and phytopathogenic microorganisms (Xiong et al., 2012; Jain and Jain, 2007). The exploration of soils and other habitats for microbes of biotechnological interest has led to the isolation of novel actinomycete strains (Ouhdouch et al., 2001). Secondary metabolites of Actinomycetes are therapeutically important compounds, especially antiviral, anti-cancerous, antibacterial compounds and around 70% of the antibiotics used in the world were identified and extracted from these microorganisms (Sivakumar<span class="CharOverride-5"> </span>et al., 2007). The isolation of actinomycetes from mixed micro flora present in nature is complicated by their characteristic slow growth (Kerkar, 1994). So the present study conducted with an aim to study the distribution of marine Actinobacteria species from the marine sediments of various habitats along the coasts of Andaman group of Islands.</p>

			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">The entire Andaman coast (Figure 1) was divided into 3 zones <span class="CharOverride-6">viz.</span> South Andaman (Chidiyatapu to Baratang), Middle Andaman (Baratang to Mayabunder) and North Andaman (Mayabunder to Diglipur). Sediment samples were collected aseptically from 0-1m, 5-6m and 10 -11m depth at each station by skin and scuba diving using PVC corer with 2.5cm diameter during the period January 2011-May 2013. Various physiochemical factors like Sea surface Temperature, Salinity, water pH and sediment pH were recorded from each station. Total Organic Carbon of the sediment was estimated following Walkley and Black (1934) and Udotong et al. (2008). Sediment texture was analysed using Pippet analysis (Jayaraj et al., 2007) to understand the habitat structure.</p>
			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">&nbsp;</p>
			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">The sediment samples were pre-treated because some of the Actinobacteria may not appear by normal plating techniques. In order to isolate these Actinobacteria, three pre-treatment techniques were applied: </p>

			  <li class="Body-Text ParaOverride-3"><span class="CharOverride-5">Dry heat method</span>: The sediment samples were heated at 120<span class="CharOverride-4">o</span>C for 1 hour and plated for isolation of temperature tolerant species like Thermoactinomycetes (Jensen et al., 1991).</li>
				<li class="Body-Text ParaOverride-3"><span class="CharOverride-5">Enrichment method</span>: Air dried sediment samples were enriched with 2% CaCO<span class="CharOverride-13">3</span> and incubated 37°C for 10-15 days. Treatment with CaCO<span class="CharOverride-13">3</span> enhances the growth of <span class="CharOverride-6">Streptomyces</span> spp. (Bredholt et al., 2008).</li>
		  <li class="Body-Text ParaOverride-3"><span class="CharOverride-5">Phenolic Treatment</span>: Air dried sediment samples were inoculated in media which contains 1.5% phenol, Nalidixic acid and cycloheximide (50µg) against fungal contaminants. Colonies with a powdery appearance and leathery colonies oppressed to media were selected. The organisms were identified based on their morphological characters <span class="CharOverride-6">viz.</span> types of substrate mycelia and aerial mycelia, temperature tolerance at 27-65<span class="CharOverride-4">o</span>C, colour of spores, aerial and substrate mycelia (Bredholt et al., 2008).</li>

			<p class="Body-Text">The isolates were inoculated in Marine Actinomycete growth (MAG) broth (Starch-1gm, Peptone-0.4gm, Yeast extract-0.2gm, NaCl 1%v/w incubated for 4-5 days and observed for aerial mycelium under 100 x light microscope. The isolates were also studied for their carbohydrate utilization <span class="CharOverride-6">viz.</span> D-glucose, D-Fructose, L-Rhamnose, D-Galactose, Lactose, Sucrose, L-Arabinose, Raffinose, Xylose, Salicin, Cellulose and Inositol (Nonomura, 1974; Buchanan, 1974; Pridham and Gottlieb, 1948). Salt tolerance (NaCl) was determined by growing the organisms on glucose nutrient agar plates supplemented with 0 to 10% (w/v) NaCl (Sujatha et al., 2005; Jensen et al., 1991; Gottlieb, 1973). The isolates were tested for temperature tolerance, oxidase, nitrate reduction, catalase and urease activities. The isolates were also screened for the production of enzymes such as protease, lipase, amylase, chitinase and cellulase activity as per the method of Williams et al. (1983) and Holt (1994). Protease activity was checked by spot inoculating loopful of culture along with the spores, into Nutrient Gelatin Agar (Peptone – 5gm, Beef extract – 3gm, Gelatin – 120 gm pH 6.8) after 24 to 48hrs incubation plates were flooded with gelatine precipitating reagent which consequently liquefy Gelatine to amino acids. A clear zone is the indication for positive result (Williams et<span class="CharOverride-6"> </span>al.<span class="CharOverride-6">, </span>1983; Gourdeau et al., 2008). Lipase activity was determined by inoculating loopfull cultures in Tributyrin Agar (Himedia, Mumbai). Clearing zone indicates the positive result. Amylase activity was determined by spot inoculating the cultures in Starch Agar Medium (Peptone- 0.5gm, Beef extract- 0.3gm, Starch - 0.2g, Agar- 2.0g, Sea water- 100ml, pH- 7.2) (Mincer et al., 2002). Degradation of casein was determined following Lindqvist and Storgards (1960). The growth at different temperatures, other physiological and biochemical characteristics were studied using the method described by Williams et<span class="CharOverride-6"> </span>al.<span class="CharOverride-6"> </span>(1983). All tests were performed at 28°C. For enzymes like chitinase and cellulose, cultures were inoculated in cellulose agar medium and chitinase agar <span class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">medium for 7 to 15 days. Formation of clear zone was the positive result. The production of melanoïdes pigments was carried out on ISP6 Agar (peptone, 20g; ferric citrate ammoniacal, 0.5g; sodium thiosulfate, 0.08g; yeast extract, 1g; K2HPO4, 1g; Agar 15g; H2O, 1000 ml, pH 7.2) and ISP7 agar (glycerol, 15g; L-tyrosin, 0.5g; L-asparagine, 1g; K2HPO4, 0.5g; MgSO4, 7H2O,0.5g; NaCl, 0.5g; FeSO4, 7H2O, 0.01g; standard saline solution, 1ml; agar, 18g; H20, 1000ml, pH 7.2) (Vijayakumar et al., 2007; Shirling and Gottlieb, 1966).</span></p>

			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">The susceptibilities of the organisms to various antibiotics were studied on nutrient agar plates containing various antibiotics such as triacylolandomycin, lincomycin and rifampicin. The antibiotics were aseptically mixed with sterile molten agar and the preparations were maintained at 45°C and poured into plates. After inoculation, the plates were incubated at 30°C for 1 week. Growth on the media was compared with growth of a control and was recorded as negative or positive (no growth or growth respectively) (Lechevalier and Lechevalier, 1967).</p>
		  <p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">&nbsp;</p>
			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">Thin layer Chromatography was done to determine cell wall composition. To detect the presence of meso Diamino pimelic acid, the sample were pelletized and treated with 6N HCL. Vacuum evaporation was done to evaporate HCL present in the sample and spotted in TLC Plates (Merck). After running for 5-6 hour in solvent system (methanol: distilled water: 6N HCL: Pyridine (80:26:4:10), plates were air dried, sprayed with 0.2% Ninhydrin in acetone. Developed in hot air oven at 100<span class="CharOverride-4">o</span>C for 3 minutes observed for maroon coloured spots (Becker et al., 1965).</p>

			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">The detailed survey have shown that the entire study area along the coast was dominated mostly by mangrove forests or sandy beaches along with a combination of other habitats like rocky and corals (Table 1). The sediment analysis by standard pipette analysis have shown that most of the stations were loamy followed by sandy, clayey and muddy. The isolates from most of the stations were found to be more salt tolerant especially in the deeper regions. Even though they were showing growth at 0ppt to 70ppt salt concentration, highest percentage of growth was observed in the range 30-40ppt of salt concentration (Figure 2).</p>

			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">&nbsp;</p>
			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">During the present study it could be noticed that most of the stations were found to be a combination of either mangroves or sandy with other habitats. The domination of Actinobacteria was discernible in the South Andaman when compared to other zones. This zone is mainly dominated by mangrove habitats followed by sandy and rocky habitats. In stations like Wandoor, Burmanallah and Chidiyatappu, the corals are mostly a continuation of the mangrove ecosystem and the inhabitants are found interacting very closely. The human interferences including tourism activities were found to be higher in areas like Junglighat, Minnie Bay, Marina Park, Science Centre, Wandoor and Chidiyatapu. Rocky bottoms were found in the stations <span class="CharOverride-6">viz.</span> Burmanallah, Carbyn’s Cove, Kodiyaghat, Marina Park, and Science Centre. While in other zones, mangroves and other types of habitats co-exist in stations like Yerratta, Kadamthala, Rangat, Karmatang, Panchavati, Nimbuthala, Bakulthala etc. where a lot of anthropogenic activities like fishing, fire wood collection, etc. taking place. Sandy beaches dominated in stations like RRO camp, Culbert Bay, Shivpur, Aamkunj. The rich biodiversity of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands is already been reported by many workers (Qasim and Wafar, 1990; Dagar and Singh, 1999; Roy, 2003; Ramya, 2008; Roy et al., 2009; Ramkumar et al., 2013).</p>
		  <p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">&nbsp;</p>
			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">While considering the sediment texture, the present results have shown that the clay loamy and loamy sandy sediments hold maximum number of Actinomycete population. Ravikumar et al. (2010) have recorded highest number of Actinobacteria isolates from the mangrove sediments at Thondi Tamil Nadu, where the sediment was clayey which can hold maximum number of Actinobacteria.</p>

			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1"><span class="Body-Text">The dominance of <span class="CharOverride-6">Streptomyces</span> spp. was already re</span>ported from the coast of Andaman Islands along with <span class="CharOverride-6">Micromonospora</span> spp., <span class="CharOverride-6">Nocardia </span>spp., <span class="CharOverride-6">Streptoverticillium</span> spp. and <span class="CharOverride-6">Saccharopolyspora </span>spp. (Sujatha et al., 2005; Sivakumar et al., 2007; Abirami et al., 2013). While Balagurunathan et al. (1989) has reported some common species like <span class="CharOverride-6">Rhodococcos</span> sp., <span class="CharOverride-6">Streptomyces</span> spp., <span class="CharOverride-6">Salinospora</span> sp. and <span class="CharOverride-6">Micromonospora</span> sp. from the mangrove sediments. Similarly, the dominance of <span class="CharOverride-6">Streptomyces</span> spp. was evident in the present study also and the abundance of the other genera was negligible. In the present study the saccarolytic Actinomycetes like <span class="CharOverride-6">Streptomyces</span> spp. load was high and most of them were isolated from depth ranges 0-1m and 5 – 6m depth zones. According to Grein and Meyers (1958), <span class="CharOverride-6">Streptomyces</span> spp. are not autochthonous marine flora, they may be terrestrial forms adapted to salinity of sea water and sediment. Some scientists considered Actinomycetes to be part of indigenous marine micro flora (Zobell, 1940; Okazaki and Okami, 1976; Weyland, 1981) where as others considered them as wash in components that merely survived in marine and littoral sediment as spores (Goodfellow and Haynes, 1984; Takizawa et al., 1993; Jensen et al., 2005). This view is supported by the observation that the numbers of Actinomycetes in marine habitat decreases with increasing distance from land (Weyland, 1969). The present study have shown a general trend that the 0-1m depth have recorded highest concentration of Actinomycetes followed by 5-6m and 10-11m. Mincer et al. (2002) has reported that littoral inshore zone is most favourable for the survival. This indicates that these isolates include true marine forms as well as the washed away forms from terrestrial environment which showed a wide salt tolerance. </p>

			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">Andaman and Nicobar coast is one among the virgin coasts in the world and a hot spot of biodiversity which is not explored systematically and thoroughly. So the present study have shown the importance and potential of this region in terms of actinobacterial diversity and the future prospects of exploration for strains of bacterial flora for novel drugs. This work can be a baseline for the future studies in the field of pharmacological research to be conducted in the country. </p>
