Which source would provide the most reliable information for use in a research project investigating the effects of antibiotics on disease-causing bacteria?
A
A-the local news section of a newspaper from 1993
B
B-a news program on national television about antigens produced by various plants
C
C-a current professional science journal article on the control of pathogens
D
D-an article in a weekly news magazine about reproduction in pathogens
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Well known bacterial sources of antibiotics include Actinomycetes, predominantly from the genus Streptomyces (Watve et al., 2001), myxobacteria (Wenzel and Muller, 2009), cyanobacteria (Welker et al., 2012), Bacillus (Fickers, 2012, Hamdache et al., 2011) and Pseudomonas species (Gross and Loper, 2009).

Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract. Streptomyces is the largest antibiotic-producing genus in the microbial world discovered so far.

Detailed explanation-3: -Antibiotics commonly are produced by soil microorganisms and probably represent a means by which organisms in a complex environment, such as soil, control the growth of competing microorganisms. Microorganisms that produce antibiotics useful in preventing or treating disease include the bacteria and the fungi.
