Notes: Summary Of 116 chitinolytic actinomycetes, previously isolated from marine sediments, 85 were found to possess antimicrobial activity. A high correlation was noted between chitinolysis and bioactivity. A majority of them suppressed the growth of Gram-positive bacteria but only a few inhibitedGram-negative strains and almost one-half of them exhibited antimyccotic activity. Several of the last group yielded polyenes of which heptaenes were the most commonly occurring ones. Other strains synthesized detectable amounts of \-lactam antibiotics. It is suggested that chitinolysis may serve as an indicator of potential bioactivity among marine actinomycetes.
