Microbial Diversity in a Mapping Perspective : A Review

Abstract :

The Seven Standard antibiotics such as ampotericin, clortimazole, fluconazole, griseofluvin, ketakonazole, miconazole and nystatin were tested for antibiotic susceptibility against seven pathogenic fungi viz., Aspergillus fumigates, Curvularia geniculata, Fusarium oxysporum, Helminthosporium oryzae, Penicillium janthinellum, Nigrospora sphaerica and Rhizopus spp. isolated from Penas monodon in a culture pond. The antimicrobial activity were tested by using standard single disc diffusion method. The maximum Zone of inhibition was recorded for nystatin (22 mm) against Fusarium oxysporum and the minimum zone of inhibition was recorded for fluconnazole (8 mm) against Penicilliun janthinellum.
