Abstract
Antibiotic is a type of antimicrobial substance active against bacteria. Most important type of antibacterial agent for fighting against infection. Antibiotics are commercially exploited soil metabolites produced by the bacteria. Bacteria are easy to isolate, culture, maintain and to improve the strain. Bacillus species are predominate soil bacteria because of resistant endospore formation and production of vital antibiotic. The objective of the present study is production, extraction and assay of antibiotics from bacterial isolates using soil as a source. Micro organisms are omnipresent and always exist in a competitive environment. Soil bacterium with antibiotic activity is screened for morphological characters which can provide about valuable information about the strain. The extracted substance was found effective against gram positive bacteria. Most of the antibiotics are extracted and isolated from soil.
