CULTURAL CHARACTER AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITIES OF ISOLATED FUNGI FROM SOIL SAMPLES OF BELU-GYUN, CHAUNGZON TOWNSHIP, MON STATE
Abstract
- Soil samples from twenty different locations of Belu-Gyun, Chaung-Zon Township, Mon State were collected. These soil samples were utilized in the isolation of 37 fungal strains. They were designated as MM-1 to MM-37. Among these fungi colonies, MM-34 was found to give the highest antibacterial activity of 36.35 mm clear zone against Micrococcus luteus. So, MM-34 was preferred to conduct further investigation concerning the optimal fermentation conditions to produce antibacterial metabolite. In the fermentation experiments with MM-34, it was observed that the 84 hours of ages, 15% sizes of inoculums were suitable for highest antibacterial activity against Micrococcus luteus. The result revealed that maximum production of antimicrobial metabolite (27.27 mm clear zone) was obtained when medium was supplemented with glucose. Culture containing yeast extract showed the highest antibiotic production (27.54 mm clear zone). FM-3 gave maximum yield of antibacterial activity (30.02 mm clear zone) against Micrococcus luteus.
