    ABSTRACT

    The study scrutinizes the Antibiotics Production Potentials of Bacteria Isolated from Ant Bores. In achieving this aim, the following objectives were laid out to assess the antibiotic producer bacteria from screened soil samples, find out the production process of Antibiotics as a result of Screening and Isolation of Bacteria from soil samples and evaluate the antibiotic producer bacteria from isolated soil samples Antibiotics are chemical substance of small organic molecules which at low amounts are harmful to the metabolic activities and growth of other microbes. Soil is rich in microorganisms which are capable of producing antibiotics. The traditional approach is ‘random screening’ in which bacteria are isolated, grown and their activity spectrum was assessed. The isolates were identified based on their morphology and further confirmed through biochemical tests. Antibiotic producing ability was confirmed by inhibition zones around bacterial colonies. A total of 56 isolates belonging to four different strains of antibiotic producing bacteria were found in different soil samples. Out of these, 30 were Bacillus subtilis, 9 were Bacillus licheniformis, 12 were Streptomyces and 5 were Actinomycetes. A significant number of antibiotic producing bacteria were found in this study. These results suggest that soil isolates, having antibiotic producing capability can be used commercially after proper standardization. This study will be of immense benefit to other researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their research work.

    CHAPTER ONE

    1.1 Introduction

    Antibiotics can be defined as any chemical substance of small organic molecules which at low amounts are harmful to the metabolic activities and growth of other microbes (Brun and Skimkets, 2000). The natural products obtained from microorganisms are still appearing as the most auspicious source of the future antibiotics (Pelaez, 2006). Antibiotics which are mostly in use today are the natural derivatives of fungi and actinomycetes (Tawiah et al., 2012). In nature, there is universal dissemination of antibiotics among the microorganisms responsible for their antagonism (Euanorasetr et al., 2010).

    As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.
