Objective: The current study's goal is to isolate Streptomyces from soil samples and analyse their biosurfactant and antibacterial activity.
Methods: (25) The soil samples were collected in Hilla city. (10) The organism is Streptomyces spp. They had been identified. (4) Streptomyces spp. capable of hemolysis on blood agar and the production of biosurfactants. Streptomyces spp. 8 demonstrated high activity by having a blood agar inhibition zone (25 mm).
Results: Antibacterial activity was evaluated for Streptomyces spp. 8 (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia Coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Streptomyces spp. 8 has greatest inhibition zone against S. aureus equal to 14 mm compared 12 mm against E. coli and 8 mm for P. aeruginosa. This Streptomyces spp. 8 characteristic was tested and found to be Gram positive with aerial mycelium grey in colour on yeast malt extract agar. It is negative for melanin produced on tyrosine broth medium, negative for H2S output and pigment development, negative for the use of mannitol sucrose, glucose, and fructose as carbon sources, and negative for xylose.
Conclusion: Isolated Streptomyces spp. having the potential to generate biosurfactants with antibacterial activity.
