The DOST said based on the study of researchers from the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB), a specific bacterial isolate identified as “Streptomyces sp. A1-08” has shown antibiotic activity against numerous potentially pathogenic microorganisms and anti-colorectal cancer potential.
It is one of the 30 bacteria that were isolated from soil samples of Mt. Mayon in Malilipot, Albay, it said.
Kristel Mae P. Oliveros, the project leader and an assistant professor in UPLB Microbiology Division, said they were “totally surprised and excited” about the results of their experiments.
“We have high hopes of getting new and novel species because this is a less explored environment, a volcano”, she said in a statement posted on DOST Facebook page.
