چکیده

screening of microorganisms for the production of novel antibiotics has been intensivelypursued for many years by scientists. actinomycetes have the capability to synthesize manydifferent antibiotics. a total of 69 actinomycete isolates were recovered from soil samplescollected from alborz province. selected colonies (rough, chalky) of actinomycetes werepurified. all screened isolates were identified morphologically and physiologically. and all ofthem belong to the streptomyces genus. these were then assessed for their antibacterial activityagainst pathogenic bacteria. four pathogenic test strains were used in this study includingstaphylococcus aureus atcc 6538, bacillus subtilis attc 6633, klebsiella pneumoniaeattc 10031, and escherichia coli atcc 29998. determination of antibacterial activities ofisolated actinomycetes performed by using modified spektra-plak method and mueller hintonagar (oxoid) plates. antagonism was detected by formation of inhibition zone. results of thestudy indicated that 12 isolates were active against s. aureus, 15 isolates against b. subtilis, sixisolate against k. pneumonia, and four isolate were active against e. coli.

Pectinase Activity of some Micromycetes Isolated from Agricultural Soils

Pectinases have multiple nature and various forms which are necessary for the hydrolysis of pectin in several conventional industrial and natural processes. In this investigation fourteen fungal strains which isolated from agricultural soils ,were screened for pectinase activity. Pectinase activity were measured in vitro by assaying released reducing sugar from pectin as sole carbon source. Asp...

Antibacterial activity of actinomycetes isolated from native sponge of Persian Gulf (Kharku Island) against pathogens

Resistant of pathogens to common antibiotics is a major global problem, and efforts discover new antibiotics from less known resources, is an inevitable. Native sponges of Persian Gulf have high potential in the field of medical biology, but have received little attention. In this study, actinomycetes that capable to produce anti-bacterial metabolites isolated and examined. Two sponges of Persi...

Isolation of biologically active Actinomycetes from untouched soils: a case study from Karaj district, Iran

Actinomycetes are a source of a broad variety of secondary metabolites with diverse biological activities, such as antifungi, antibiotics and antitumorals; many of which have been developed for clinical use. In this study, 34 actinomycetes from untouched soils were isolated from Alborz Province-Iran. Evaluation ofantifungal and anti bacterial activities of these isolates, demonstrated the capab...
