Abstract

Actinomycetes is one of the main source of antibiotics due to its ability to synthesize celluse and lignin-degrading enzymes. Found mainly in soil, Actinomycetes is currently one of the major source of organic or natural antibiotics. The objective of this research is to determine which isolated genus of Actinomycetes from the soil samples exhibited the greatest antagonistic ability. Antagonistic ability was determined through a susceptibility testing with three trials per isolate for each of the three test organism. After a 24-hour incubation period, the Actinomycetes was transferred onto the freshly seeded test organism plates. Measurements of the zone of inhibition were taken after 2 days of incubation. Results showed that the genus Micromonospora was dominant over the other isolated Actinomycetes established by its presence in all three soil types. Test indicated that Micronospora exhibited that widest antagonistic ability as indicated by its widest zone of inhibition when bio-assayed with selected pathogens.
