Identification of Bacitracin Produced by Local Isolate of Bacillus licheniformis

Abstract

Bacillus licheniformis was isolated from soil of different house gardens. Diagnosis was performed according to Gram stain, motility, shape forming, aerobic condition and other tests. Bacitracin was primary identified after its activity was tested against some species of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Identification was completed by using thin layer chromatographic technique.
