**2. Types of Actinobacteria**

Actinobacteria, along with normal environments, can thrive in extreme environments like acidic/alkaline pH, low/high temperatures, high salt concentration, high level of radiation, low moisture content, and nutrients [2]. Based on the above environmental conditions, the different types of Actinobacteria along with their ecological significance have been summarized in **Table 1**.

Considering capabilities of Actinobacteria (**Table 1**), they can potentially be exploited as a candidate for agriculture and environmental biotechnology.
