Abstract The subject of this thesis is based on the field of Microbiology. In this branch, we concentrated production of Antimicrobial Agent by metagenomic techenique. The thesis consists of seven chapters: Chapter one: Introduction It’s an introduction for the following chapters and contains some of the main concepts and definitions which will use throughout our work.; also it illustrates the metagenomics technique. Chapter two: Review of literature It’s an introduction for the following chapters and contains some of the main concepts and definitions which will use throughout our work.; also it illustrates the metagenomics technique. The results of this chapter are published in Eco. Env. & Cons. Metagenomics technique as new source for antimicrobial agent production. Chapter three: Materials and methods We present necessary and sufficient conditions of materials such as chemicals, reagents, antibiotics, buffers, media, gels and stains, primers and vectors. The results of this chapter are published in Eco. Env. & Cons. Metagenomics technique as new source for antimicrobial agent production. Chapter four: Results Characterization of Antimicrobial agent was done for the best clone for antimicrobial agent’s production to detect efficiency, optimum pH, thermal stability, pH stability, the effect of different compounds on antimicrobial activity, and residual activity of product after preservation at room temperature. The amino acid sequence of RSMM C3 gene (1250 bp) was 72% identified with Herbaspirillum sp. The ideal temperature level of the RSMM C3 antimicrobial agent production was 36 ◦C. The antimicrobial agent RSMM C3′s stability was stable at -20 ◦Celsius for up to two months without thawing. The antibacterial agent RSMM C3 was stable at 4 ◦C for 14 days without loss in activity. The ideal pH level of the RSMM C3 antimicrobial agent was 6. Remain activity was gradually decreased at pH 5, 6, 6.5 and 7 (86.1, 96.9, 97.2 and 94.9%, respectively). On the other hand, residual activity was (92 and 84%) at (pH 7.5 and 8) for 8 days. The tested antimicrobial RSMM C3 was stable against 1 mM of different compounds (DMSO, Glycerol, NaCl, CaCl2, MgCl2, ZnCl2, FeSO4, MnSO4 and CuSO4). The results of this chapter are published in Biotechnology Reports. Evaluation of a new antimicrobial agent production (RSMM C3) by using metagenomics approaches from Egyptian marine biota.
