announcement for new antimicrobial agents has initiated. Many scientists have
been focused on identification and characterization of novel marine species
which produce more potent antimicrobial agents. In this study, 162 strains were
isolated from Caspian Sea and analyzed based on antimicrobial activity.
Bacteria were grown in wide period of time, 24 h to 20 days, on Muller Hinton
Agar medium. Among 162 isolates, 4 strains showed antimicrobial activity to Bacillus
subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus
aureus as reference strains. But the maximum effect was observed on Bacillus
subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram positive bacteria). The
positive strains were subjected to 16S rDNA PCR sequencing and the results were
BLASTed against the NCBI database to evaluate genetic distribution and
bacterial classification. The strains were submitted to NCBI as new
Streptomyces griseus strains.</span
