Screening, Isolation And Characterization Of Antibiotic Producing Microorganisms From Soil Samples Within Mouau Poultry Farm.
ABSTRACT
Ten samples of soil collected around
MOUAU poultry farm were screened for antibiotic producing microorganisms. Ten
fold serial dilution of the soil samples was carried out and inoculated on
Nutrient Agar and Sabouraud Dextrose Agar using spread plate method. Pure
colonies of the isolates were tested against known bacterial pathogens namely:
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC27853), Escherichia co/i (ATCC25 922),
Staphylococus aureus (ATCC25923) and Mycobactermm smegmatis (ATCC 14468), to
observe their antimicrobial activity against the bacterial pathogens. Isolate
S22 showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococus aureus with an
inhibition zone of 15mm, while the other pathogen were resistant. Isolate Si 01
had clear inhibition zone around the plates inoculated with Stapkvlococus
aureus and Escherichia co/i (10mm and 8mm respectively). The other isolates did
not produce any inhibition against the test pathogens. The result suggests that
potentially antibiotic producing microorganisims can be isolated from the soils
of MOUAU. Screening project of large scope is therefore recommended.
