Abstract

To isolate mutanse-producing bacteria, soil samples were collected from several areas in chonnam Province, South Korea. A total of 70 strains of actinomycetes were isolated from the soil samples. All isolated actinomycetes were inoculated on mutanase screening media to identify new bacterial strains producing mutanase activity. One strain in particular exhibited a strong mutanase-producing activity, and was identified as Microbispora rosea based on its morphological, cultural, and physiological characteristics, and also by 16S rDNA sequences.
