Isolation of Actinomycetes with Cellulolytic and Antimicrobial Activities from Soils Collected from an Urban Green Space in the Philippines

Figure 1

Representative colony morphology of isolated colonies and plates showing cellulolytic activity of isolates. (a) Bacterial isolates showing the typical characteristic of actinomycetes. (b) Representative plates of the cellulolytic activity of selected isolates in CMC agar flooded with Gram’s iodine showing isolates with clearance zone diameters of at least 20 mm and with clearance zone diameters lower than 20 mm. The middle imprints on both plates are negative controls showing no clearance zones.
