Abstract In this study, an attempt was made to produce antitumor agent(s) from marine bacteria. Physiological adaptation was performed to enhance the antitumor production by the isolated bacterial strain. Seventy nine bacterial isolates were collected from different coastal regions of Egypt during period from 2015 to 2016, using starch casein agar and marine nutrient agar media. These isolates were tested for antitumor activity using a preliminary screening test “Red Potato Discs Bioassay”. After the two successive experiments to confirm the antitumor activity of the tested bacterial isolates, it was found that the most potent bacteria were MA3, RB4, MM7 and MA6 isolates. The results confirmed that the highest activity percentage were 87.5%, 85%, 80% and 77.5%, respectively during 15 days incubation. |
