| Popis | Antibiotics as a selective agents or markers are well known for a certain period of time. Since 1981, the testing of archaeal strains has begun in order to understand the mechanics as well as to exploit them in isolation, cultivation and community maintenance (Hilpert R. et al., 1981). Various antimicrobial agents were tested in several studies by microdilution technique or diffuse disk method with a potent list of the effects and minimal inhibition concentrations. This knowledge can be further exploited for isolation purposes to effectively tackle the bacterial background. Furthermore, knowledge of the antimicrobial pattern may enable us to choose a proper antibiotic combination without a risk of harming wanted archaeal microorganisms. The antibiotics and their metabolites are nowadays common in environments such are wastewater treatment plants, or as a part of normal microbial population in rumen or in the intestines. Knowing this may provide us with valuable information about the fitness of the population under this specific mean of environmental stress. |
