The purpose of this experiment is to encounter bacteria from tropical soils that have the capability of producing antibiotic. In order to do so, it was necessary to isolate the bacteria, purify it five times and freeze it at a temperature of -80˚C. After purification, gram staining was performed to classify the bacteria as gram positive or negative. The bacteria were characterized by doing purification of genomic DNA and then, a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) with the primers 16sRNA, 16S_1510R and 16S_8F. An electrophoresis was conducted to see if the PCR process went well. The PCR product was purified and analyzed by using Bioinformatics. Finally, both bacteria’s S15UPRCRISENRE30M01 and S15UPRCRISEAFD30M01A had positive results as antibiotic producers for M.luteus.

- 2. Background • Bacteria are prokaryotic microorganisms that can be differentiated by their peptidoglycan layer located in the cell wall. • This aspect classifies them as gram-positive or gram-negative.
- 3. Antibiotic Era • The discovery of penicillin in 1928 was by Alexander Fleming. • Since 1940’s scientists, using Fleming’s research as a source, have been studying and developing antibiotics in order to reduce illness and death from infectious diseases (CDC 2014). • Rene Dubos- discovered and isolated an antibacterial compound called tyrothricin. • Recently, scientists have discovered a new antibiotic, from the soil, which name is Teixobactin (Ling et al. 2015).
- 5. • Antibiotic resistance is produced when the capability of killing or inhibiting bacterial growth is eliminated. The bacteria can grow in the presence of the antibiotic (APUA 2014). • In a recent investigation Walsh and colleagues (2003) isolated 412 antibiotic resistant bacteria from agricultural, urban, and pristine soils.
- 6. Significance ● The importance of this study is that it attempts to find new bacteria from tropical soils with antibacterial properties. ● This investigation responds to the need for new antibiotics that can inhibit bacterial reproduction.
- 7. Problem • Can we find bacteria in soil that have useful properties such as antibiotic production and antibiotic resistance?
- 8. Hypothesis • It is hypothesized that different properties of the isolated soil bacteria will be characterized such as bacterial structure, antibiotic resistance and antibiotic production . • There will be more bacteria found in tropical soils capable of antibiotic production and resistance . (Dubisnky et al. 2010)
- 9. Goals • Isolation, purification and freezing of soil bacteria • Gram staining and colony morphology • Test for antibiotic production and resistance • Generation of genomic DNA, PCR, gel electrophoresis and purification • Sequencing and Bioinformatics Analysis
