Screening the Antibacterial Actinomycetes From Saline Soil Of Vidarbha Region

A. A. Deshmukh, N. N. Vidhale

Abstract :

Antibacterial activity of Actinomycetes isolated from saline belt of Purna river basin which appears in Amravati, Akola and Buldhana district of vidarbha region has been studied. In primary screening, out of 147 actinomycete isolates 50 isolates (34.01%) showed an activity against 2 test bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli by agar overlay technique. In secondary screening, out of 50 primary isolates 19 actinomycete isolates were proceeded for an antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 7443), Bacillus subtilis (MTCC 441), Escherichia coli (MTCC 443) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC 424) by agar well diffusion method. Nearly 78.94% isolates were found antibacterial to Staphylococcus aureus followed by 68.42% against Bacillus subtilis, 52.63% against Escherichia coli and 42.10% against Pseudomonas aeruoginosa. Similarly actinomycetes isolates KR4, N3, N8 and C6 showed antibacterial activity against all the test bacteria
