INVESTIGATORY PROJECT
STUDY OF EFFECT OF ANTIBIOTICS ON
MICROORGANISMS
BY
AJAY.R
ABSTRACT
Antibiotics are the organic secretion produced
by micro – organisms, which in low
concentrations are antagonistic to the growth
of other micro – organisms (mostly
pathogens). Antibiotics have proved very
useful in combating several bacterial diseases
in man an animal. Antibiotics are commonly
obtained from actinomycetes and some
eubacteria. Some of the important antibiotics
are streptomycin, Aureomycin, teramycin,
Chloromycetin, erythromycin, neomycin etc.
Soil is a natural medium that harbors several
types of micro – organism .These micro-
organisms can be frown on culture media.
The effect of different types of antibiotics
can be studied on the growth of micro -
organism growing in culture medium. This is
an important subject, therefore the study of
effect of antibiotics on micro - organism has
been taken for the present project.
OBJECTIVE OF
PROJECT
The aim of this project is to study the effect
of antibiotics on micro – organisms.
Experime
nt
To study the effect of antibiotics on
micro-organisms
REQUIREMENT
S
• POTATO ,AGAR, DEXTROSE , DISTILLED WATER , FOUR
DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANTIBIOTICS (SUCH AS PENICILLIN ,
STREPTOMYCIN , AUREOMYCIN , TERAMYCIN ) , SYRINGE
, OVEN STERILIZED PETRIDISH , FLASKS , BEAKERS ,
PIPETTES , GARDEN SOIL , GLASS MARKER PEN , ETC
PROCEDUR
E
• A) PREPARATION OF CULTURE MEDIUM
• 1. POTATO DEXTROSE AGAR (PDA) MEDIUM TAKE 200 G OF PEELED
POTATO CHIPS. BOIL THEM WITH 500 ML OF WATER IN A BEAKER
FOR 15 MINUTES SQUEEZE THE POTATO PULP THUS OBTAINED
THROUGH A MUSLIN CLOTH AND KEEP IT IN A FLASK.
• TAKE 20 G OF AGAR IN A BEAKER AND WARM IT WITH 500 ML OF
WATER .
• MIX BOTH THE SOLUTION OF POTATO AND AGAR AND ADD 20 G
DEXTROSE TO IT THUS ONE LITRE OF PDA MEDIUM IS PREPARED
AUTOCLAVE THE MEDIUM AT 15 POUNDS PRESSURE FOR 15
• B. EFFECTS OF ANTIBIOTICS ON SOIL MICRO0 ORGANISMS
• I) TAKE 2 G OF SOIL AND DISSOLVE IT IN 10 ML OF WATER IN A
BEAKER. LET THE SOIL PARTICLE SETTLE DOWN
• II) TAKE 5 OVEN STERILIZED PETRIDISHES AND POUR 1 ML OF SOIL
SUSPENSION IN EACH OF THE PLATES. NOW POUR 1ML OF THE
FOUR ANTIBIOTICS SEPARATELY IN FOUR PETRIDISHES WITH THE
HELP OF SYRINGE, AND MARK THEM WITH MARKER PEN. LEAVE THE
FIFTH PETRIDISH WITHOUT ANTIBIOTIC TO SERVE AS CONTROL.
• III) POUR PDA IN EACH OF THE PETRIDISHES AND MIX THE
SUSPENSION BY ROTATING THE PETRIDISHES. LEAVE THE
PETRIDISHES UNDISTURBED AT A WARM PLACE
OBSERVATION
• THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT ANTIBIOTICS ON THE
MICRO – ORGANISMS CAN BE ASSESSED BY
COUNTING THE NUMBER AND SIZE OF THE
COLONIES GROWING IN THE PETRIDISHES.
CONCLUSIONS
•PENCILLIN AND TERRAMYCIN WAS
MOST EFFECTIVE ANTIBIOTIC AGAINST
MICROORGANISM IN SOIL
