Background: Increased antibiotic resistant properties of pathogens has led to a pronounced search for new effective antibiotics from microbes in diverse ecological niches. This study focused on isolating actinomycetes from soil of reserved areas and profiling them for antibacterial potentials.

Methods: The isolates (IS-2, IS-4, IS-6, IS-10, IS-14) were assessed for antagonistic activity against ten multi-drug resistant bacterial strains (Gram positive and negative) by cross streak and well diffusion methods.

In recent times, researchers have explored food derived peptides to circumvent the side effects of synthetic drugs. This study therefore examined the amino acid constituents, antioxidant activities, angiotensin-1-converting enzyme (ACE), α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibition kinetics of protein hydrolysate obtained from the seed of . The peptide yield by pepsin (16.
