Abstract

 

In this study, an antimicrobial compound was isolated from the fermented broth ofStreptomyces albidoflavus 321.2 (MTCC 3662), a new soil isolate. Arginine glycerol salt medium was found best for the production and was maximum after the 6th day of fermentation at 32°C using 6% (v/v) inoculum at static condition to yield 250 mg/ml. The compound exhibited less toxicity against experimental plant and animal systems.

 

Key words: Streptomyces, antimicrobial, fermentation, optimization.
