In vitro evaluation of antiviral activities of metabolite extracts from some marine actinomycetes
Fafy Abd El-Rahman Mohammed Dewais;
Abstract
The incidence of viral infection increases world wide either with novel strains of viruses or with drug resistant strains. In this context, the production of antiviral drugs from natural sources such as marine microorganisms is a vital demand.
The present study aimed to maximize the antiviral potential of newly discovered Streptomyces isolate. The obtained results can be summarized as the following:
1. Seventeen sediment samples, collected from Qarun Lake and Hurghada, Egypt during 2012, were used to isolate actinobacteria using 5 different isolation media.
2. Starch casein agar medium was proved to provide the highest count of the actinobacteria comparing with the other tested media.
3. Eighty two actinobacterial isolate were screened for their antimicrobial activities using well diffusion
