Production, purification and characterization of antibacterial biomolecules from an alkaliphilic Bacillus
Forty alkaliphiles, which were isolated from samples collected in Eastern Africa, have been screened for production of antibacterial compounds. One of these isolates, Bacillus halodurans B20, was able to produce a prominent amount of antibacterial activity against a Gram-positive bacteria on agar plates [paper I] and selected for further study. Production of the active compound in submerged culti
