Abstract

In the present study the antimicrobial activity of penicillin against the isolated bacteria from soil sample was studied. The bacterial species were isolated from the soil sample and identified by various biochemical tests. After that penicillium species were isolated from citrus fruits sample for isolation of penicillin. Finally the antibacterial activity was checked from the penicillin on the isolated bacterial species and was found that out of four bacterial species, penicillin showed remarkable effect on Bacillus subtilis but a small extend of inhibitory effect on Bacillus cereus, Proteus vulgari and Neisseria flavescens.

Keywords
