title: A new variety of Chainia olivacea from marine sediment off Gulf of Mannar.
abstract: A new variety of Chainia olivacea was isolated from marine sediment off Gulf of Mannar. The morphological, cultural, physiological and biochemical characters were studied, compared to known species and identified as a new variety of Chainia olivacea. Antibiotic activity of the strain was tested against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria as well as fungi and yeasts. Sodium chloride tolerance was also tested.
