Description
In this research basically is trying to derive antibiotics from the environment which is a natural habitat in its own self. With the current progression of the world in its own self pathogens or bacteria have become more virulence as well as changing their gene every time they replicate thus becoming very hard to cure some of the infections or diseases that affect us as humans. Since the beginning of the research, the only place the antibiotics have been derived from is from the environment, and a good example is penicillin that was derived from mold. Introduction From the beginning the soil was collected from Kessler Ln Overland Park Ks 66204 KS united states. The soil was derived 1-2 inch in depth and the color of the soil is dark brown with a soft texture to it. At the time the temperature was about 55 Fahrenheit. Ph of the soil was 8.0. The experiment used was serial dilution where it was easy to culture the microorganisms from a more diluted sample to enhance easy growth of the microorganisms in different dilution from the different agar plates cultures used. The agar plates were incubated for about 7 days at room temperatures. Upon incubation different results were obtained and transferred different candidates that did show distinction in terms of their growth to a master plate that enabled growth of organisms separately as well as giving room for the candidates to grow. Them after making of different master plate that had about 6 organism that were promising. After that screening the promising candidates with different eskape pathogens to identify which of the candidates can show any inhibition. Creating of the streak plate from one of the promising candidates and in this case I derived Stephen to be the promising candidate.
