Sci., Ain Shams Univ., Cairo, 14(1), 87-103, 2006 NUMERICAL STUDY ON SOME ACTINOMYCETES ISOLATED FROM BURULLOS LAKE IN EGYPT [6] 1 2 Abu-Elela , Gihan M. and Nevin, B. Ghanem ABSTRACT Twenty nine actinomycetes isolates were isolated from Burullos Lake and char- acterized taxonomically for 62 phenotypic traits including morphological; biochemi- cal, nutritional, substrate utilization and anti-microbial activities. The results were analyzed by numerical techniques using the simple matching coefficient (SSM) and UPGMA clustering. At 54% similarity level, the majority of the isolates were grouped into six phena (A, B, C, D, E and F). Only two isolates were grouped sepa- rately and formed two single clusters at the same level of similarity. A representative isolate from each phenon was identified. The isolates were found to be Streptover- ticillum morookaense, Nocardia brasiliensis, Streptomyces alanosinicus, Streptomy- ces globosus and Streptomyces gancidicus Keywords: Burullos Lake, Actinobacteria, Numerical taxonomy, Fresh water habi- tats INTRODUCTION growth in aquatic habitats but can never- theless be recovered readily from fresh Class Actinobacteria (high G+C con- water, sea water and sediments samples tent, gram positive bacteria) has been (McCarthy and Williams, 1990). proposed by Stackebrandt et al (1997) Several studies demonstrated by culti- and includes members with unparalleled vation independent methods revealed that ability to produce diverse secondary me- the freshwater actinobacteria are present tabolites (Mellouli et al 2003).

Wide variety of bacteria in the environment permits screening for more efficient cellulase producing strains. The study focuses on isolation and screening of cellulase producing actinomycetes. The isolates from varied ecological habitats were subjected to primary screening. Between 80-90 % isolates were found to produce cellulase enzyme. Among the isolates tested, colonies 51, 157, 194 and NRRL B-16746 ( S. albidoflavus ) showing appreciable zones of clearance were selected for secondary screening. Enzyme activity was determined in crude and in partially purified extracts. NRRL B-16746 S. albidoflavus (1.165 U/ml/min) showed maximum activity followed by colony 194 (0.995 U/ml/min), colony 51 (0. 536 U/ml/min), colony 157 (0.515 U/ml/min) and NRRL B-1305 ( S. albogriseolus ; positive control) (0.484 U/ml/min). The taxonomic status of isolates 51,157 and 194 was studied by polyphasic approach including morphological and biochemical characterization.

Some biochemical and morphological characterizations of marine S. ruber EKH2 EKH2; were carried out. Cell free culture showed activities against the tested pathogens ranging from Fish pathogens; 15 to 30 mm. Optimized conditions for maximum activities were observed at neutrality and GC–MS; temperature 28 °C against the tested strains. Two grams of the ethyl acetate crude extract from Toxicity 10 L culture supernatant was chromatographically separated into three fractions and bioassayed. One major antibacterial compound was separated exhibiting MIC average 12.5 lg/ml. Phthalic acid was structurally suggested on the basis of gas chromatography–mass spectrum (GC–MS) and infrared spectrum (IR). Phthalate activities were compared with known standard antibiotics used in fish therapy and found to be superior. A slight toxicity of phthalate against brine shrimp (LC50 = 2800 lg/ml) was observed.

  • Saccharification of Parthenium Hysterophorus Biomass Using Cellulase from Streptomyces Sp
    Annals of Microbiology (2019) 69:685–694 https://doi.org/10.1007/s13213-019-01459-6 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Saccharification of Parthenium hysterophorus biomass using cellulase from Streptomyces sp. NAA2 Anita Saini1 & Neeraj K. Aggarwal1 Received: 15 July 2018 /Accepted: 27 February 2019 /Published online: 7 March 2019 # Università degli studi di Milano 2019 Abstract Parthenium hysterophorus biomass can be used as a non-conventional renewable feedstock for the production of bioethanol. Therefore, the present work was designed to hydrolyze P. hysterophorus biomass using cellulase enzyme produced from an actinomycete, i.e., Streptomyces sp. NAA2 using P. hysterophorus biomass as a substrate. The isolate NAA2 was identified by molecular characterization of 16SrDNA. The enzyme production by strain NAA2 was enhanced by optimization studies con- ducted under submerged fermentation conditions using P. hysterophorus as a substrate. The crude enzyme produced under optimized conditions was used to hydrolyze alkali-acid pretreated P. hysterophorus biomass. The highest CMCase production was achieved in 4–5dayswhensteam-pretreatedP. hysterophorus biomass was used at 1% (w/v) concentration, using 2 discs (1 disc = 5 × 107 spores/ml) of inoculum, an initial pH 6.5, temperature at 40 °C, an agitation speed of 120–150 rpm, and by supplementing fermentation medium with 1.5% (w/v) carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as additional carbon source. Under optimized conditions, the actinomycete strain NAA2 showed production of 0.967 ± 0.016 U/ml CMCase, 0.116 ± 0.08 FPU/ ml FPase, and 0.22 ± 0.012 U/ml β-glucosidase enzymes. On utilizing the cellulase enzyme for biomass hydrolysis, maximum 18.2% saccharification yield (of cellulose 0.202 g/g) was achieved in 96 h when enzyme and substrate levels were 30 FPU/ 100 ml and 2% (w/v) respectively.

The structure of the new compound was determined using a combination of spectroscopic techniques, including 1D and 2D NMR and electrospray-time of flight mass spectrometry (ESI-TOF MS). The relative configuration of compound 1, which contains two independent stereoclusters, has been established by molecular modelling in combination with nOe and coupling constant analyses.

Actinomycetes have high GC (guanine-cytosine) content and characterized by a complex life cycle. The morphology of actinomycetes looks like fungi and the reproduction takes place either by hyphae fragmentation or by spore production in the mycelium. Actinomycetes serves as a large pool for secondary metabolites production with potent biological activities and therapeutic properties like antifungal, antibiotics, enzymatic, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), in xenobiotics and bioremediation. These bioactive metabolites production can be enhanced using high-throughput fermentation and by combinatorial biosynthesis during optimization. Present research should be focused on the potential of less explored actinomycetes from extreme environments that can be utilized as sustainable herald for green biotechnology. In this review, habitat, life cycle and production optimization of actinomycetes in selective media are explained but article is emphasized on biotechnological potential of actinomycetes that are relevant for industries, agriculture and allied sectors. Keywords: Actinomycetes, secondary metabolites, enzymes, antibiotics, bioremediation, applications. Introduction proteobacteria) that live in and around the roots of the Actinomycetes are also called actinobacteria and it plant4. Actinomycetes are one of the most important is made up of two words i.e.
