Characterization of Antibiotic Actinomycin D Isolated from Streptomyces parvulus Collected from Marine Sponge of Barrang Lompo Island, Makassar, Indonesia.

Background: Microorganisms associated with sea sponges have proven to be good natural product resources that are biologically active and pharmaceutically important.

Objective: This research aimed to identify actinomycetes related to a sponge from Bar-ranglompo Island Makassar and the antibacterial compounds.

Methods: Identification of actinomycetes was based on molecular characterization of sequence gen16S rRNA.

Investigation of Antituberculosis from Medicinal Plant of Community Ethnic in South Sulawesi.

Background: Tuberculosis is one of the transmitted diseases that has been claimed as one of the most serious health problems worldwide resulting in death, as reported in WHO in Global Tuberculosis Report 2014. It has been predicted that 9 million people suffer from tuberculosis disease and 1.5 - 2 million deaths occur by this disease.

Characterization of Antibacterial-Producing Endophytic Fungi of Syzygiumpolyanthum Leaves.

Background: Endophytic fungi live in plants' tissue and can produce the same bioactive compounds as its host plant produces. Syzygiumpolyanthum leaves have known to be one of the antibacterial compound producers.

Aims And Objective: This study aimed to characterize morphologically, microscopically, and molecularly the antibacterial-producing endophytic fungi of Syzygiumpolyanthum leaves.
