Growth Phases of Some Antibiotics Producing Streptomyces and their Identification
نویسنده
چکیده
The growth phases of five cultures of antibiotic producing Streptomyces isolated from western region, Saudi Arabia were studied spe. cial reference to their potentiality to excrete antibiotics. It was found that these organisms grew exponentially during the first 4 to 7 days of incubation. The highest specific growth "rate was observed in the case of Streptomyces MY18 being 0.48 day-l (1.44 days doubling time). This isolate also showed the highest inhibition zone against Staph. aureus as compared with the other four Streptomyces isolates. This antagonistic effect was more pronounced at the last five d~ys of incubation (stationary phase). Morphological, cultural and physiological properties of most active antibiotic producers revealed that Streptomyces MY18 and Streptomyces MR13 are strains of S. aureofaciens and S. reseviolaceus respectively.

The application of new probiotics is a good strategy in the biological control of infectious diseases in aquaculture. Approximately 100 marine actinobacteria isolates were obtained from 10 sediment samples of shrimp farms. Heat treatment of sediment samples resulted in a selective reduction of the non actinobacterial heterotrophic microflora. Starch nitrate agar medium exhibited more efficacy t...
