Fig. 5.  Effects of goadsporin on anitibiotics production by an unidentified actinomycete TP-A0593.
 (A) A photograph was taken after Bacillus subtilis ATCC6633 was overlaid on Bennett's agar medium.  6 nmol(ca. 10 micro g) of goadsporin was absorbed in a paper disc and strain TP-A0593 was incubated 4 days. The inhibition zone was observed near the paper disc and was depended on amounts of diffused goadsporin. (B) A photograph of the paper disc diffusion assay against B. subtilis .  Paper discs contained the culture broth of strain TP-A0593 cultivated for 8 days in the presence of 18 nM goadsporin (left) or in its absence (right).  Inhibition zone was observed around the paper disc containing the broth cultured in the presence of goadsporin (left).
