بررسي فعاليت سيتوتوكسيك اكتينوميست هاي دريايي جداشده از خليج فارس بر روي دو گونه آرتميا فرانسيسكا و آرتميا اورميانا

Studies on cytotoxic activity of marine actionomycetes from Persian Gulf on Artemia franciscana and Anemia urmiana

The actinomycetes are common soil gram positive bacteria and are best known for their ability to produce unusual metabolites which have antibiotic and cytotoxic properties. Also it is documented that actinomycetes can be isolated from marine habitats. The purpose of this work has been to screen the actinomycetes with cytotoxic activity, from corals and sponges from lark Island in Persian Gulf. In this research work cytotoxic activity of actinomycetes has been studied by use of Brine Shrimp lethal test on Artemia -franciscana then the results has been compared with those obtained from Artemia urmiana and the results shows that marine actinomycetes culturʹs have% 14/75 cytotoxic activity. The result of statistical study has shown the corelation of the two species as follows: (r=0198 and P<0/01). Therefore this results indicate that Artemia urmiana could be used instead of Artemia ftaneiseana.
