Objective: To identify the actinomycete strains separated from soil and study
their antibacterial activity. Methods: Streak method was used to separate and purify four strains of
Streptomyces(DL002, DL003, DL004, DL005), and morphological and molecular
biological methods were used to identify these strains. After that, plate confrontations and filtering
paper methods were used to study the antibacterial activity of them against
standard strains of bacteria and fungi. Results: The tested strains were Streptomyces flavogriseus. The growth of
Bacillus subtilis, Proteus
vulgaris, Escherichia
coli, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, Aspergillus
niger, Rhizoctonia
solani and the spore production of A. niger can be inhibited by any of the four
strains. Among the four stains, strain DL002 had the strongest inhibition effecton P. vulgaris and
B. subtilis. Conclusion: The tested strains all have inhibition effect on bacteria and
fungi, especially, strain DL002 showed the strongest antibacterial activity and
the ability to inhibit A.niger spore production, which could be further
studied.
