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.
