Isolation of Local Shewanella sp. Strain from Vezjolka River at Belgorod District in Belgorod Region, Russia

Abstract

The work describes the procedures used to isolate microorganisms and the initial determination of Shewanella sp. from the Vezjolka River, Belgorod Region of Russia. The isolates obtained during isolation are characterized by signs corresponding to those declared by the authors of the recipe for selective nutrient medium for isolation and determination of Shewanella sp, namely, the green color of the colonies, the zones of turbid precipitate around them, arising due to the activity of bacterial lipase, and a black center indicating production hydrogen sulfide. Keywords—Shewanella; Belgorod region; algicidal activity; bioremediation
