Assessment of Antibacterial Activity for Biosurfactant Produced by Streptomyces spp. Isolated from Soil Samples| Chapter 6 | Current Aspects in Pharmaceutical Research and Development Vol.9

The purpose of this research is to isolate Streptomyces from soil samples and investigate their biosurfactant and antibacterial properties.
Methods: Soil samples were obtained at Hilla city (25) Streptomyces spp. is the organism. They'd been tracked down. (4) Streptomyces species capable of hemolysis and biosurfactant synthesis on blood agar. By having a blood agar inhibitory zone, Streptomyces spp. 8 displayed strong activity (25 mm).
Streptomyces spp. 8 were tested for antibacterial activity (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia Coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The inhibition zone of Streptomyces spp. 8 against S. aureus is 14 mm, compared to 12 mm for E. coli and 8 mm for P. aeruginosa. On yeast malt extract agar, this Streptomyces spp. 8 characteristic was examined and found to be Gram positive with aerial mycelium grey in colour. It is negative for melanin formed on tyrosine broth medium, H2S output and pigment formation, mannitol sucrose, glucose, and fructose as carbon sources, and xylose.
Conclusion: Isolated Streptomyces spp. have the potential to produce antimicrobial biosurfactants.
