Description
Antibiotics are medical compounds that have selective toxicity. Soil microbes have yielded most of the antibodies we use to treat infections today. So the search for new species of antibiotic-producing bacteria continues to be one of the most promising avenues for finding the next generation of antibodies. We went through the methods of aseptic technique and applied them in the isolation of pure cultures of bacteria, Also performed various staining techniques and chemical tests to identify these bacteria. The response of bacteria to changes in environmental conditions will also be examined.
