Description The advancement in molecular technologies has given a breakthrough to
explore the untapped and novel microbial isolates for characterization in
every aspect as we can consider microbes as an important primary natural
store house for key secondary metabolites and enzymes. Actinomycetes are
the most fruitful source ofmicroorganisms for all types of bioactive secondary
metabolites, including agroactive-antibiotic molecules that are best
recognized and most valuable for their role in agriculture and industries. In
agriculture, actinomycetes are used as biocontrol agents against some pests
and pathogenic organisms as well as plant growth-promoting (PGP) agents
for crops. Use of different molecular methods, e.g., metagenomics,
metatranscriptomics, genetic fingerprinting, proteogenomics, and
metaproteomics, are more significant for classifying and discovering the
immense diversity in microbial population and for understanding their
interactions with other abiotic and biotic environmental elements. The
opportunity of accessing inexpensive sequencing techniques has led to the
assemblies of copious genomic data for actinomycetes, such as Streptomyces
and related species, with the goal of discovering novel bioactive metabolic
and their utility as PGP; however, the use of actinomycetes in
agriculture using genomic approaches is in its initial stages.
