Abstract: | Eighteen percent of 116 different isolates of Streptomyces recovered from soils of northern Jordan showed activity against Candidaalbicans. The recovered isolates were distributed into three groups according to the diameter of the inhibition zone on the agar plate: group 1 (5–10 mm, slightly active); group 2 (11–15 mm, moderately active); and group 3 (16–35 mm, highly active). Isolates of group 3 were further grouped into four sub-groups and were culturally and morphologically identified. The u.v. spectra of the fermentation broth for the isolates in sub-group 4 were determined, and showed absorbance peaks ranging between 230 and 300 nm. |
