Properties of synechococcus elongatus, strains, isolated from freshwater in Poltava region

Abstract

Purpose of work: investigation of morphological, cultural, biochemical properties, and susceptibility to antibiotics of Synechococcus elongatus found in Poltava households freshwater. Material and methods: Strains of bacteria were isolated from well water by bacteriological methods on meat peptone agar and sugar meat peptone agar. Morphological and tinctorial properties were investigated by staining of smears by the Gram method. The biochemical activity was determined on differential media. Susceptibility to antibiotics was determined by the disc diffusion method.
