ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SELECTED SOIL BACTERIUM SY-7 FROM MYINT THA TOWNSHIP, MANDALAY REGION
Abstract
- The present paper was focused on the isolation and characterization of selected soil bacterium. Soil samples were collected from three different area of Yoar Thit village of Myint Tha Township, Mandalay Region and cultured on FLO medium and Nutrient Agar Medium. The total of ten bacterial colonies were obtained and designated as SY-1 to SY-10. Antimicrobial activities of all strains were carried out by agar well diffusion assay on 5 test organisms. Among them, SY-7 showed the highest antifungal activity (32.26 mm) on Candida albicans. Therefore, SY-7 was selected and identified by morphological, microscopical and biochemical characteristics. In the morphological characterization, SY-7 was medium in size, rod-shaped, margin entire, spore present and cream colour. According to the results of biochemical characters, SY-7 was characterized as the genus Bacillus. This research can provide screening the antimicrobial activity and identification of soil bacteria by using the different biochemical characters.
