Everyone who contributed to the progress of science and service to the humanity Saman Amin Summary Recently, the increase of the pathogens resistant to recent antimicrobial agents has become a health problem. Accordingly, the current study aimed at the isolation of local actinomycetes spp. that is capable of producing novel bioactive compounds, as well as investigating their biological (antimicrobial and anticancer) activities, in addition to, characterizing and partial purifiying the antimicrobials metabolites. Forty soil samples were collected in Garmian area, during the period from 2nd to 15th Feb. 2015. Out of the forty soil sources were screened, only (65%) of them harbored potential actinomycetes, and 55 suspected colonies with different morphotypes were isolated. All isolates were tested for antimicrobial activities by primary screening against reference strains. Among all suspected actinomycetes candidates, only six isolates KH14, KH16, KH18, KA19, KA38 and KA39 were able to inhibit the growth at least two of tested microorganisms. Optimizing media composition for enhancing the production of antimicrobial metabolites, five different broth media ISP1, ISP2, ISP4, ISP5 and Glycerol yeast extract broth were used and ISP2 revealed the best results (inhibition zone) among all media used. Furthermore, five different organic solvents were used to obtain the maximum extraction of extracellular antimicrobial metabolites. Results exhibited the extraction by n- butanol, methanol, ethyl acetate, n- hexane and chloroform, for recording zones of inhibition as 46.6%, 33.3%, 20%, 13.3% and 6.6% respectively against the tested microorganisms. Comparisons of antimicrobial activities between extra and intracellular crude extracts were carried out. In general, the extracellular exerted more potent antimicrobial activity than the intracellular. i Ten different synthetic antibiotic discs were used to compare their activities with the extracellular crude extract. Interestingly, the extract, when compared their activities, show a higher inhibitory activity against the pathogens than synthetics discs activity. The results of the optimization experiments, such as growth kinetic, pH and salt tolerance NaCl revealed that the 3 days of incubation at pH 8 and 5% of NaCl tolerance especially for KH14 isolate. Minimum inhibitory concentration against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans shows that 64, 500 and 500µl/ml respectively. The extracellular crude extract exhibited a strong inhibitory activity against Gram- positive bacteria and a moderate inhibitory activity against both Gram-negative bacteria and yeast. In addition to the antimicrobial actions, DPPH assay has been performed to determine the antioxidant activity. The extracellular crude extract from KH14 isolates showed IC50 about5.24 mg/ml which scavenged 91% of formed DPPH free radicals. Determining the nature of the antimicrobial compounds was analyzed by TLC, which indicated the presence of four separate spots, only one of them revealed the antimicrobial activities, as well as their position was determined by bioautography, with different solvents (mobile phase) exhibited different Rf values. HPLC-MS analysis of the scraped active spot and ethyl acetate extract indicated the presence of many compounds. In addition, the results showed that most of them have a similar mass, which becomes noticeable in chromatogram. UV absorbance designated the presences of only two peaks at(221.85)and (264.85)nm from the scraped spot, while three distinguished peaks were shown at 222.85, 264.85 and 442.85 nm from ethyl acetate extract. Furthermore, the similarity between the two extracts on the basis of UV absorbance was achieved by the second peak of both extracts which is 264.85nm, and this was considered ii as an antimicrobial absorbency. GC-MS analysis results for ethyl acetate extract of KH14 displayed 12 peaks, their molecular weight and molecular formulas were determined depending on NIST library. The antitumor activities were determined by MTT assay, which indicated

Besides having so many contradictory reports about fatty acids related to the issues of human health, there are many evidences that point towards the beneficial effects of PUFAs and essential fatty acids on human health, even in AD. This study investigated the interaction of fatty acids and phyto-constituents for the inhibition of BACE enzyme (mainly responsible and prominent target for amyloid hypothesis) through in-silico approach. Phyto-compounds from Picrorhiza kurroa, Cinnamomum tamala, Curcuma longa, Datura metel, Rheum emodi and Bacopa monnieri, which are well known, were screened. For screening of drug molecules, Lipinski’s rule is usually used. Because of this rule compounds like Bacoside A, Bacoside A3, Bacopaside II, Bacopasaponin C, Baimantuoluoline C, Daturameteline A, Cucurbitacin B, Cucurbitacin D, Cucurbitacin E, Cucurbitacin I, Cucurbitacin F, Cucurbitacin R, Picroside III, Kutkoside, Picroside II are usually excluded from docking/binding studies because of their higher molecular weight as they do now follow the Lipinski’s rules.

  • Comparison of Lipopolysaccharides Composition of Two Different Strains of Helicobacter Pylori Kristy Leker1†, Ivonne Lozano-Pope1†, Keya Bandyopadhyay2, Biswa P
    Leker et al. BMC Microbiology (2017) 17:226 DOI 10.1186/s12866-017-1135-y RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Comparison of lipopolysaccharides composition of two different strains of Helicobacter pylori Kristy Leker1†, Ivonne Lozano-Pope1†, Keya Bandyopadhyay2, Biswa P. Choudhury2 and Marygorret Obonyo1* Abstract Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium that is recognized as a major cause of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. Comparable to other Gram-negative bacteria, lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are an important cellular component of the outer membrane of H. pylori. The LPS of this organism plays a key role in its colonization and persistence in the stomach. In addition, H. pylori LPS modulates pathogen-induced host inflammatory responses resulting in chronic inflammation within the gastrointestinal tract. Very little is known about the comparative LPS compositions of different strains of H. pylori with varied degree of virulence in human. Therefore, LPS was analyzed from two strains of H. pylori with differing potency in inducing inflammatory responses (SS1 and G27). LPS were extracted from aqueous and phenol layer of hot-phenol water extraction method and subjected for composition analysis by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to sugar and fatty acid compositions. Results: The major difference between the two strains of H. pylori is the presence of Rhamnose, Fucose and GalNAc in the SS1 strain, which was either not found or with low abundance in the G27 strain. On the other hand, high amount of Mannose was present in G27 in comparison to SS1. Fatty acid composition of lipid-A portion also showed considerable amount of differences between the two strains, phenol layer of SS1 had enhanced amount of 3 hydroxy decanoic acid (3-OH-C10:0) and 3-hydroxy dodecanoic acid (3-OH-C12:0) which were not present in G27, whereas myristic acid (C14:0) was present in G27 in relatively high amount.

The objective of our study was to evaluate the phylogeny and bioprospecting of Actinobacteria associated with fungus-growing termites. We characterized 97 Actinobacteria from the gut, exoskeleton, and fungus garden (comb) of the fungus-growing termite Macrotermes natalensis and used two different bioassays to assess their general antimicrobial activity.
