title: Actinomycete bacteria isolated from the sediments at coastal and offshore area of Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan: diversity and biological activity.
abstract: About 800 strains of actinomycetes were isolated from marine environments around Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. The isolates were compared with taxa and biological activities of their secondary metabolites. It is suggested that a variety of actinomycetes are isolated from different marine environments.
