R. FORAR. LAIDIa, A. ABDERRAHMANEb, A. A. HOCINE NORYAc. a Department of Natural Sciences, Ecole Normale Superieure, Vieux-Kouba, Algiers – Algeria b,c Institute of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, Baghdad - Iraq. a email: [email protected] Abstract A total of 35 actinomycetes strains were isolated from and around Baghdad, Iraq, at a depth of 5-10 m, by serial dilution agar plating method. Nineteen out of them showed noticeable antimicrobial activities against at least, to one of the target pathogens. Five among the nineteen were active against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, yeasts and moulds. The most active isolate, strain RAF-11, based on its largest zone of inhibition and strong antifungal activity, especially against Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger, the causative of candidiasis and aspergillosis respectively, was selected for identification. Morphological and chemical studies indicated that this isolate belongs to the genus Streptomyces. Analysis of the 16S rDNA sequence showed a high similarity, 98 %, with the most closely related species, Streptomyces labedae NBRC 15864T/AB184704, S. erythrogriseus LMG 19406T/AJ781328, S. griseoincarnatus LMG 19316T/AJ781321 and S. variabilis NBRC 12825T/AB184884, having the closest match. From the taxonomic features, strain RAF-11 matched with S. labedae, in the morphological, physiological and biochemical characters, however it showed significant differences in morphological characteristics with this nearest species, S.

This strain was found to produce a new hydroxamic acid-contain- ing molecule with interesting antimicrobial activities towards various multidrug-resistant micro-organ- isms. Although hydroxamic acid-containing molecules are known to exhibit low toxicities in general, only real evaluations of the toxicity levels could decide on the applications for which this new molecule is potentially most appropriate. Thus, this article provides a new framework of research. Keywords Abstract antimicrobial activity, hydroxamic acid, Streptomyces, structure elucidation, During screening for potentially antimicrobial actinobacteria, a highly taxonomy. antagonistic strain, designated WAB9, was isolated from a Saharan soil of Algeria. A polyphasic approach characterized the strain taxonomically as a Correspondence member of the genus Streptomyces.

    INVESTIGATING THE ACTINOMYCETE DIVERSITY INSIDE THE HINDGUT OF AN INDIGENOUS TERMITE, Microhodotermes viator by Jeffrey Rohland Thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, Faculty of Science, University of Cape Town, South Africa. April 2010 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Firstly and most importantly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr Paul Meyers. I have been in his lab since my Honours year, and he has always been a constant source of guidance, help and encouragement during all my years at UCT. His serious discussion of project related matters and also his lighter side and sense of humour have made the work that I have done a growing and learning experience, but also one that has been really enjoyable. I look up to him as a role model and mentor and acknowledge his contribution to making me the best possible researcher that I can be. Thank-you to all the members of Lab 202, past and present (especially to Gareth Everest – who was with me from the start), for all their help and advice and for making the lab a home away from home and generally a great place to work. I would also like to thank Di James and Bruna Galvão for all their help with the vast quantities of sequencing done during this project, and Dr Bronwyn Kirby for her help with the statistical analyses. Also, I must acknowledge Miranda Waldron and Mohammed Jaffer of the Electron Microsope Unit at the University of Cape Town for their help with scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy related matters, respectively.
