Published: January 2009

A potent Bacillus subtilis-2 isolated from soil samples, showed 14 mm inhibition zone by spot inoculation method and 22 mm inhibition zone by well agar diffusion method against pathogenic test fungii. i.e. Trichophyton species. Among four media tested, the maximum growth and antibiotic production was found in trypticase soya broth (TSB) medium at 37 degrees C, pH 7 and 48 hrs of incubation. The MIC of antifungal substance was 35 microl/ml. The isolated Bacillus subtilis -2 has strong antifungal activity against dermatophytic fungi Trichophyton sp. and requires chemical characterization for its bioactive principle.
