The Isolation and Identification of Strain Streptomyces xanthocidicus IMB-14

Abstract:

The strain Streptomyces sp., nominated IMB-14, was isolated from the soil sample of WuDang Mountain by the method of cellulose ester membrane filter. The studies on antibiotic activities, morphological characteristics, cultural characteristics, physiological characteristics, 16S rDNA sequence analysis and the metabolite of strain IMB-14 showed that the strain IMB-14 was accordance with Streptomyces xanthocidicus. The study on the isolation and identification of strain Streptomyces xanthocidicus establishes a foundation on screening of novel antibacterial and antitumor agents.
