Use of co-cultivation method to stimulate the production of antimicrobial natural products from mangrove microorganisms by Tan, Jin Wei

“…Cryptic gene clusters from actinomycetes are suspected to harbor potential in producing bioactive products, and in this study, co-cultivation is utilized to stimulate these cryptic gene clusters in novel antibiotics production. 10 actinomycete strains isolated from Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve were co-cultured with Mycobacterium Abscessus and Asperigillus Westerdijikiae in two liquid mediums, Glucose-Yeast extract-Malt extract (GYM) and Minimum Media (MM). Their culture extracts were screened for antibacterial activity using filter-disc assay. …”
