Currently, it is fundamental to discover new “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction” antibiotics from distinct strains against multidrug resistant Newton’s Third Law of Motion. We can apply this rule on the pathogens. Since unusual natural products with new structures overuse of antibiotics and the emergence of antimicrobial will have valuable biological activities Koehn and Carter, Baltz, drug resistance. In the meantime, the uncontrolled practices of Amin et al. [6-8]. antibiotics mainly triggered this problem in both developed and developing countries. The intensity of antimicrobial resistance Rare Actinobacteria has a great potential to produce novel in developing countries is generally higher because of the excess antibiotics [8-12]. My previous work focused on exploring an antibiotics usage. unordinary group of Actinobacteria, which is known as Rare Antibiotics resistant pathogens are recognized as a gigantic actinomycetes isolates from Egyptian soils and antimicrobial worldwide public health threat, and they have vital effects Actinobacteria [13].

About 16S rDNA sequencing, 52 actinomycete colonies were isolated by systematic serial dilution and plating Streptomyces sp, technique and the size, shape and margin of the two selected predominant Nocardiopsis actinomycete colonies were observed on starch casein agar after 7 to 14 days of dassonvillei, accession incubation. Based on experimental studies and genetic DNA sequence analysis, numbers, EMBL it was concluded that present strains A1 and A2 were identified as Streptomyces sp. and Nocardiopsis dassonvillei respectively and the 16s rRNA sequences of A1 and A2 were submitted to GenBank under accession numbers KU174216 and AB896798. The strains were submitted as Streptomyces sp. N56 and Nocardiopsis dassonvillei and the data are simultaneously made available to EMBL in Europe and the DNA Data Bank of Japan. -

SOD is not one, but three separate, non-homologous 12 enzymes that perform the same function. Thus, the evolutionary history of genes encoding for 13 different SOD enzymes is one of convergent evolution, which reflects environmental selection 14 brought about by an oxygenated atmosphere, changes in metal availability, and opportunistic 15 horizontal gene transfer (HGT). In this study we examine the phylogenetic history of the protein 16 sequence encoding for the nickel-binding metalloform of the SOD enzyme (SodN). A comparison 17 of organismal and SodN protein phylogenetic trees reveals several instances of HGT, including 18 multiple inter-domain transfers of the sodN gene from the bacterial domain to the archaeal domain. -

Accepted 22 December, 2010 A halophilic actinomycete, designated HT371T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from the shore of the salty Lake Qaroun, Egypt, and was the subject of a polyphasic study. Analysis of 16S rRNA indicated that the isolate belonged to the genus Actinopolyspora and constituted a separate clade in the Actinopolyspora 16S rRNA gene tree with similarity values of 96.5 and 96.2% with Actinopolyspora halophila DSM43834T and Actinopolyspora mortivallis DSM44261T, respectively. Isolate HT371T had chemotaxonomic and morphological properties consistent with its classification in the genus Actinopolyspora and could grow on agar plates at NaCl concentrations of up to 25% (w/v). The isolate was readily differentiated from the type strains of genus Actinopolyspora using a range of phenotypic characters. On the basis of polyphasic evidence, the strain HT371T represents a novel species for which the name Actinopolyspora egyptensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HT371T (=CGMCC 4.2041T). Key words: Actinopolyspora egyptensis sp. nov., halophilic isolate, polyphasic taxonomy.

Banyak antibiotika dan metabolit sekunder yang dihasilkan oleh bakeri ini. Beberapa meta- bolit sekunder dari bakteri ini dapat digunakan sebagai insektisida tehadap serangga termasuk larva nyamuk. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mencari dan mengisolasi sampai spesies dari Streptomyces sp. dari tanah lumpur Lapindo Sidoarjo, provinsi Jawa Timur yang dapat digunakan sebagai larvasida terhadap larva Aedes aegypti, vektor penyakit demam berdarah dengue. Metode penelitian ini adalah menumpulkan beberapa sampel tanah lumpur dari Lapindo Sidoarjo. Sampel yang sudah dikoleksi dikultur pada media ISP-4 untuk mendapatkan kultur campuran. Kemudin mengisolasi koloni yang dicurigai sebagai Streptomyces sp.dengan mengkultur beberapa kali lagi pada media ISP-4 pada petri dish. Beberapa isolat yang murni kemudian dikultur pada media ISP-4 miring (slant). Diperoleh delapan isolat murni Streptomyces sp. Karakterisasi 16S sRNA dari Streptomyces sp. dilakukan dalam rangka untuk menentukan spesies. Isolasi DNA dikerjakan dan dilanjutkan dengan sekuensing DNA, kemudian dibandingkan dengan Gene Bank dengan menggunakan program BLAST. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa sekuens basa-basa nukleotida Streptomyces Sp-D6 menunjukkan kesamaan yang tinggi dengan Streptomyces sp. -
