Lewis, G.Juhasz, A.Smith, E.2025-12-172025-12-172012Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2012; 19(7):2795-28010944-13441614-7499https://hdl.handle.net/1959.8/125674The aim of this research was to test whether any bioactive FQEMs of EF could be synthesized by aerobic fermentation processes using Mycobacterium gilvum (American Tissue Culture Collection) and a mixed culture of microorganisms derived from an agricultural soil. High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) and bioautography were tested as screening techniques in the detection and analysis of bioactive FQEMs.enCopyright 2012 Springer-Verlagbiosolidciprofloxacinenrofloxacinfluoroquinolonematabolitepharmaceutically active compoundsrisktransformation productDetection of antibacterial-like activity on a silica surface : fluoroquinolones and their environmental metabolitesJournal article10.1007/s11356-012-0781-8000306790200034
