ANTİBİOTİC PRODUCTION BY ANAEROBİC BACTERİA

Abstract

In recent years therc has been an intensive sea"rch for microorga~ nisms which produce antibiotics during growth on artifieial media. Many sources of microorganisms have been examined for the presence of these forms. However, with few exceptions, the microbiological techniques utilizede for the examination of these sources have been those which would yicld aerobic microorganisms. Thus, the possibility of anaerobic production of antibioties by microorganisms seems to have somewhat overlooked, although there are a few reports of such "occurrences for specific microorganisms. Miller (1959) described the isolation of an anaerobic Bacteroides species from the intestine of a mouse which had received streptomycin by stomach tu be. In vitro and under anaerobic growth conditions this organisms produced an antibiotic which inhibited the growth of certain strains of salmoneıla, Proteus, Pseudomonas, and staphylococcus.
