Isolation and Screening of Antibiotics Producing Streptomycetes from Western Region Soils of Saudi Arabia

چکیده
Streptomycetes group was studied in twenty-three soil samples of western region. The highest density of this group was found in 3 soil samples collected from AI-Madinah Al-Munawwarah. Six Streptomyces series were observed. Gray series represented the most dominant isolates. The highest antimicrobial activity was recorded in the case of gray and red series. Streptomyces MR13 (red series) had a broad spectrum against test organisms. Streptomyces MY18 (gray series) showed a high antimicrobial effect against Staph. aureus, Escherichia coli, P. mirabilis and B. subtilis. Some antibiotics excreted by Streptomyces cultures had a very narrow spectrum against test organisms. On the other hand, B. subtiliswas inhibited by 14 Streptomyces cultures followed, in descending order, by E. Coli and Staph. aureus. Candida albicans and Penicillium sp. were only sensitive to only one Streptomyces isolate.

Introduction: Streptomyces species are mycelial, aerobic gram-positive bacteria that are isolated from soil and produce a diverse range of antibiotics. Streptomyces griseus produces the antibiotic, streptomycin and forms spores even in a liquid culture. The gene cluster for the production of Streptomycin antibiotic contains strR gene that encodes StrR, a pathway-specific regulator. Then, this p...
