abstract
The objective of this study is to identify, isolate and characterize antibiotics produced by three samples of Streptomyces by using antibiotic assays and chromatography. Three samples of Streptomyces were identified as able to produce antibiotics against (Bacillus subtillus, Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Sarcina aurantiaca). By cutting zones of inhibition from agar plates and filtering broth cultures, chromatography will be used to analyze the sample complexity, substance identification, relative composition, and kinetic characteristics of the sample. Streptomyces Sample 1 had excreted light pink pigments into the agar. The zones of inhibition averages for Sample 1 were S.aurantiaca: 2.13 cm, E. coli: 1.30 cm, and B.subtillus: 1.23 cm. Streptomyces Sample 2 was a light yellowish color with no excretion of pigments into the agar. Sample 2 averages were S. aurantiaca: 0.20 cm, E. coli: 0.10 cm, and B. subtillus: 0.40 cm. Streptomyces Sample 3 was a light yellow color with crusty properties. Sample 3 averages were S.aurantiaca: 1.35 cm, E.coli: 0.10 cm, and B.subtillus: 0.67 cm. note
