antibiotics are the best known products of actinomycete. over 5,000 antibiotics have been identified from the cultures of gram positive and gram-negative organisms, and filamentous fungi, but only about 100 antibiotics have commercially been used to treat human, animal and plant diseases. the genus, streptomycete, is responsible for the formation of more than 60% of known antibiotics. bacterial...

aquatics are a source of bioactive compounds that these compounds have different properties such as antimicrobial activity. in this study, antibacterial activity of methanol, chloroform and hexane extracts from body wall, gonad and intestine of sea cucumber holothuria leucospilota was evaluated against bacillus subtilis, pseudomonas aeruginosa and staphylococcus aureus. bioactive compounds of b...
