Abstract:
Antibacterial is very important in disease treatment and valuable in worldwide. The
importance of this study is to discover a novel antibiotic for pharmaceutical industry from
marine solated actinomycetes. The aims of this study are to determine the antibacterial
activities compounds of marine isolated actinomycetes and genus identification of
actinomycetes based on colony morphology and spore formation. The modification of
agar disc diffusion method was used to screen antibacterial activities against six targeted
bacteria and yeast. These samples were cultured in potato dextrose agar (PDA) and
incubated for a period of 2-6 weeks. From a total of 30 actinomycetes isolates, 12 of them
or 40% had shown positive result for antibacterial activities.
