Antimicrobial activity of Zingiber officinale Rhizospheric Soil Actinomycetes against selected pathogenic microorganisms / Amer Shahjehan Hassan

Actinomycetes are well known bacteria as rich reservoirs of medicinal antibiotics and extremely significant to pharmaceutical and agricultural industries. Actinomycetes primarily are soil inhabitants and have the ability to produced many kinds of bioactive compounds. The isolation of actinomycetes w...
