beta-Lactamase 저해능이 있는 방선균의 선별

Screening of Microorganisms Having Inhibitory Activity against Beta-lactamase

Microorganisms having beta-latamase inhibitory activity were selected from soil samples collected from 63 spots throughout the country. Screening procedures consist of two steps. Those are growth inhibition test of penicillinase-producing Staphylococcus aureus by double-layered agar plate containing penicillin G as a substrate, and that of penicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 in the similiar condition including penicillinase. Finally, a strain was selected from a soil sample of Pa-Ju, Kyeong-gi Do. This strain was classified as a Streptomyces sp. by ISP(International Streptomycete Project) and Bergey''s manual.
