Hybrid nanoparticles, synthesized through the green method, hold promise as a potential solution to this challenge. In this study, 66 actinomycete strains were isolated from three distinct marine sources: marine sediment, the algae , and the marine sponge .

The effect of the essential oils in combination with amphotericin B on planktonic cells was also studied.
Design: The antifungal susceptibility of planktonic cells was evaluated by disc diffusion and broth microdilution methods.
