Isolation Of Serratia Marcescens From The Soil And Invitro Prodigiosin Production As Source Of Antibiotic, Active Against Oxacillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

  ABSTRACT This research work involve the isolation of two isolates titled RMN1 and RMN2, belonging to the Genus Serratia  from two soil samples collected from the following two strategic locations in university of Abuja, permanent site: Termite hill besides Girls hostel dump ground and from Faculty of Agricultural Science farm land. The isolates were morphologically distinct on the basis of spore colour, aerial and substrate mycelium formation and production of diffusible pigment. Isolates were observed under a microscope by using Gram staining technique, they were all Gram negative. Biochem…
