Description
Through antimicrobial experiments, a promising candidate was identified for isolating antimicrobial producing microbes. Soil samples underwent serial dilution, yielding potential candidates that were plated. Antimicrobial screening revealed zones of inhibition, leading to the selection of a single candidate. This candidate was then streaked to isolate a pure culture. Metabolic testing, PCR, and gel electrophoresis were used to determine the identity of the candidates.
