ISOLATION, IDENTIFICATION OF BACTERIA FROM MANGROVE SOIL AND THEIR ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY
Abstract
- The soil samples were collected from mangrove area at Shwe-thaung-yan Township, Ayeyawady Region. Isolation of bacteria was done by serial dilution method and cultured on Nutrient Agar (NA) medium (Atlas, 1993). As the results, total of seven bacterial strains (M-1 to M-7) were obtained and tested by agar well diffusion method with five kinds of test organisms. Four strains showed different levels of antimicrobial activities. Especially M-7 showed the best antifungal activity on Candida albicans. Therefore, M-7 was selected and identified by colony morphology, gram staining, spore staining, microscopical characters and biochemical reactions. According to the results, M-7 was characterized as the genus Pseudomonas sp.
