Production and Charecterization of Lenticin Against Selected Human Pathogenic Bacteria

Rekha Gupta, Kiran Vati

Abstract: This study focuses on investigating the antibiosis activity of soil bacteria isolated from 10 different places in the rhizosphere and various agriculture areas in India. The bacteria were obtained by the use of conventional serial dilution plate procedures. The isolate was morphologically characterized using Gram's staining, revealing that all of them were gramme positive. The isolated bacteria were subjected to testing against Salmonella typhi. The most promising isolates of RS1R01 and RS7R05 were selected based on the screening results. Both isolates exhibited favorable outcomes when tested against S. typhi. The highest level of antagonistic activity, with zone of inhibition, was observed at a concentration of 160 ?l for RS1R01. The process of biochemical test was conducted for isolates RS1R01 (due to high zone of inhibition) indicated a similarity with Bacillus lentus
