Out of 25 active isolates 16% showed activity against bacterial, human fungal as well as phytopathogens. Among the 48 isolates, 52.08% were found active against one or more test organisms. Besides these, other genera like Micromonospora, Actinomadura, Microbispora, Planobispora and Nocardiopsis were also recovered but in low frequency. The dominant genera Identified by cultural, morphological and physiological characteristics were Streptomyces (60.41%) followed by Streptosporangium (10.41%), Saccharopolyspora (6.25%) and Nocardia (6.25%). The growth patterns, mycelial coloration of abundance actinomycetes were documented. Highest numbers of isolates were recovered from forest site (58.33 %) as compared to grassland (25%) and agricultural land (16.66%). A total of 48 isolates were obtained from 12 samples of earthworm castings. Actinomycetes from earthworm castings were isolated and screened for their antimicrobial activity and industrial enzymes.
