| antibiotic producing potentials of three freshwater actinomycetes isolated from the eastern cape province of south africa. | crude extracts of three actinomycetes species belonging to saccharopolyspora (tr 046 and tr 039) and actinosynnema (tr 024) genera were screened for antibacterial activities against a panel of several bacterial strains. the extracts showed antibacterial activities against both gram-negative and gram-positive test bacteria with inhibition zones ranging from 8 to 28 mm (tr 046); 8 to15 mm (tr 039); and 10 to 13 mm (tr 024). the minimum inhibitory concentrations ranged from 0.078 to 10 mg/ml (tr 04 ... | 2010 | 20717525 |
