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.

After 6 days of strain fermentation, one bioactive compound was extracted from the remaining aqueous phase and then purified by HPLC. The chemical structure of the compound was determined by spectroscopic (UV–visible, and 1H and 13C doi:10.1111/lam.12412 NMR) and spectrometric analysis. The compound was identified to be 2-amino-N-(2-amino-3-phenylpropanoyl)-N-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanamide, a novel hydroxamic acid-containing molecule. The pure molecule showed appreciable minimum inhibitory concentration values against a selection of drug-resistant bacteria, filamentous fungi and yeasts.

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.

To search for new sources of active compounds, an experiment Korea Advanced Institute of Science combining genomic analysis and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) screening and Technology, South Korea was designed to isolate and characterize actinobacterial strains from a mangrove Reviewed by: Hui Li, environment in Macau. Fourteen actinobacterial strains were isolated from the collected Jinan University, China samples. Partial 16S sequences indicated that they were from six genera, including Baogang Zhang, China University of Geosciences, Brevibacterium, Curtobacterium, Kineococcus, Micromonospora, Mycobacterium, and China Streptomyces. The isolate sp.01 showing 99.28% sequence similarity with a reference *Correspondence: rare actinobacterial species Micromonospora aurantiaca ATCC 27029T was selected for Kai Li whole genome sequencing.
