Screening And Production Of Antibiotics From Actinomycetes Isolated From Soil:- Onyemachi-Igbo Chibuzor O.
ABSTRACT
Actinomycetes proyide many
important bioactive substances that have commercial value. Thus, the aim of the
research was to screen for antibiotic Actinomycetes from umuahia environment.
Three different soil samples were collected from different sites within
umuahia. The test organisms collected from National agency for food and drugs
administration and control were Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus,
Escherichia coli and Streptococcus pneumonia. Crowded plate method was used for
the screening of the antibiotic products using starch casein agar. The results
obtained showed that among the three isolates recovered, Streptomyces specieand
Norcadia specie had potential for antibiotic production. However, Streptomyces
specie exhibited the most promising potential and it produced antibiotics that
was effective against Staphylococcus aureus (20mm), Escherichia coli (22mm),
Candida albicans (19mm), and Streptococcus pneumonia (21mm). Thus, it revealed
that the isolated actinomycetes strains had potential for antibiotic
production.
