Abstract:
Objective To study the distribution and antimicrobial activity of marine actinomycetes from Jiaozhou Bay and to estimate its application potentials.Methods The strains were isolated using gradient dilution and streak plate techniques and the activity was determined by Oxford cup method and paper disk method.Results 516 strains of marine actinomycetes were isolated from various places along Jiaozhou Bay;The rates of active strains determined by both methods were 22.3% and 50.0%,respectively.Conclusion The estuary was rich in marine actinomycetes resources; paper disk method was a better method in screening active strains of marine actinomycetes.The results from both determination methods showed a good exploitability of the marine actinomycets from Jiaozhou Bay.
