Abstract Two actinomycete strains, D2-1 and D2-2, were isolated from mangrove sediment sample collected from Samut Song Kram province, Thailand. On the screening of antimicrobial activity, the crude extracts of fermentation broth of both strains exhibited activities against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 while only the crude extract of strain D2-1 exhibited activity against Candida albicans ATCC 10231. Both strains were identified as the genus Streptomyces based on

polyphasic . They contained LL-DAP in cell wall peptidoglycan, MK-9 (H6) and MK-9 (H8) as the major menaquinone and contained iso-C16:0, anteiso-C15:0, iso-C15:0, iso-C14:0, C 17:0 cyclo, C 16:0 and anteiso-C17:0 as major

cellular fatty acids. The 16S rRNA gene sequences analysis revealed that strains D2-1 and D2-2 are closely related to T Streptomyces iranensis HM35 (99.57 %) and Streptomyces sundarbansensis (99.78 %) respectively. The strain D2-1 was identified as S. iranensis and strain D2-2 was S. sundarbansensis.

Introduction Verrucosispora isolated from mangrove sediments and from the mangrove swamps have been studied for diversity The mangrove environment is highly rich in the as well as antimicrobial activity [2-7]. In Thailand, organic matters consistent with high sulfur and nitrogen Streptomyces isolates from mangrove soils collected in which can be used by the living microorganisms [1]. Samut Prakan and Samut Song Kram provinces, the inner Actinomycetes in genera Streptomyces, Micromonospora, gulf of Thailand were reported [8]. Screening for the Microbispora, Nocardia, Nonomuraea, Actinoplanes, actinomycete species is an important aspect as there is a Actinomadura, Pseudonocardia, Rhodococcus and remarkable source for the production of diverse bioactive metabolites that possess pharmaceutically relevant biological activities [9].

Results and Discussion strain D2-1 exhibited activities against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Two actinomycete strains, D2-1 and D2-2, were Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from the sediment sample. The morphology of ATCC 27853, Candida albicans ATCC 27853 while strain isolate D2-1 exhibited the spiral spore type with rough D2-2 exhibited activities against both Gram-positive and surface while isolate D2-2 exhibited long spore chain with Gram-negative bacteria but not Candida albicans ATCC smooth surface (Figure 1). The upper colonial appearance 10231. of D2-1 on ISP 2 was dark grayish yellowish brown and On the secondary screening, the ethyl acetate extract D2-2 was yellowish white. The cultural characteristics on of the isolate D2-1 showed activities against ISP 3, ISP 4, and ISP 6 of both isolates were shown in Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Bacillus subtilis Table 1. Strain D2-1 grew at 4.5-9.0 while strain D2-2 ATCC 6633, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas grew at 5.0-9.0. They grew at 30-45 oC and grew optimally aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Candida albicans ATCC 10231 at pH 6-8 and at 30-37 oC. They hydrolysed gelatin and (Table 4) while isolate D2-2 showed weak antimicrobial starch and utilized fructose, glucose and mannitol as activity as shown in Table 4. carbon sources. Variable characteristics of both isolates In Thailand, the strains of S. sporoclivatus, S. are shown in Table 2. hygroscopicus, S. nogalater, S. purpurascens, S. termitum, From the chemotaxonomic study, both strains S. aureoversilis, S. aureofaciens, S. xanthocidicus, S. contained the LL-diaminopimelic acid on cell wall roseocinereus, S. mycarofaciens, S. albospinus, S. peptidoglycan and MK-9 (H6) (49.4-59.6 %) and MK-9 spectabilis, and Streptomyces spp. were isolated from (H8) (37.6-40.4 %) as major isoprenoid quinone. Strains terrestial soil samples [12, 27-29]. In addition, S. D2-1 and D2-2 exhibited almost the same profile of iso- exfoliatus, S. vinaceusdrappus, S. tendae, S. aureus, S.

From the and S. seoulensis strains were isolated from mangrove soils chemotaxonomic results, it can be concluded that these two collected in Samut Song Khram and Samut Prakan [8]. isolates have the characteristic in the genus Streptomyces. They were differentiated and identified based on the The 16S rRNA gene analysis results revealed supported phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics including that both of two strains, D2-1 and D2-2, belonged to a 16S rRNA gene sequences analysis. This study, we found genus Strepotmyces (Figure 2). Strain D2-1 was closely S. iranensis and S. sundarbansensis strains that were the related to Streptomyces iranensis HM35T (99.57 %) and same as previous report [8]. The strains from mangrove strain D2-2 was closely related to Streptomyces soils such as S. sundarbansensis was reported to produce sundarbansensis (99.78 %). Therefore, they were 2-allyloxyphenol and showed inhibitory to bacteria and identified as S. iranensis [25] and S. sundarbansensis [26], fungi [31] and antibacterial polyketides [32]. respectively.
