The research project on studying the efficiency of antibiotics substances produced by soil bacteria around the cassava factory aims to investigate the potential of generating bioactive substances from soil around the cassava factory. This involves culturing separately isolated bacteria from the bioactive substances in the same culture dish as Trichophyton rubrum, a fungus found in toenails. The method includes streaking the isolated bacteria from the soil into two parallel straight lines, 2 cm apart from the center of the culture dish, then inoculating Trichophyton rubrum at the center of the culture dish, followed by an incubation period of approximately 24-48 hours. The experimental results revealed that the bacteria isolated from the soil around the cassava factory were effective in inhibiting Trichophyton rubrum growth. Another round of experiments was conducted to obtain antibiotics that are effective in inhibiting Trichophyton rubrum from the soil around the cassava factory.
