Scanning electron microscopy and antibiotic sensitivity of the actinobacterium, Kocuria sediminis DDK6
Abstract:In the present work, the cellular arrangements and shape of Kocuria sediminis DDK6 which was isolated from a diesel-oil contaminated soil, were investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Additionally, the intrinsic antibiotic resistance of theDDK6 to 10 different antibiotics was also assessed using disc diffusion antibiotic sensitivity testing. The results obtained from SEM indicated that cells of the strain DDK6 were arranged in pairs, tetrads, packets and grape-like clusters. Typical spherical-sh… Show more
