  • Taxonomy, Identification and Biological Activities of a Novel Isolate of Streptomyces Albus
    Kadiri Sunanda Kumari et al. / Journal of Pharmacy Research 2011,4(12),4678-4680 Research Article Available online through ISSN: 0974-6943 www.jpronline.info Taxonomy, Identification and Biological Activities of a Novel Isolate of Streptomyces albus Kadiri Sunanda Kumari* and Vidavalur Siddaiah Department of Organic Chemistry & FDW, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam 530 003, India Received on:20-08-2011; Revised on: 15-09-2011; Accepted on:10-11-2011 ABSTRACT Various isolates of streptomycetes species were isolated from different soil sediments of Visakhapatnam Coast. Preliminary screening by cross-streak method showed that 19 isolates exhibited good antimicrobial activity. Among these 19 isolates tested, isolate MB201 was the most active one and thus was selected for identification. Morphological, cultural, physiological, biochemical characteristics and biological properties as well as enzymatic activities and cell wall composition suggested that the isolate belonged to the genus streptomyces. The 16S ribosomal DNA amplification for phylogenetic study revealed that the isolate was highly related to Streptomyces albus (~99%), so it was designated as Streptomyces albus gangavarams. This new strain produced antimicrobial agents active against Gram +ve and Gram –ve bacteria and fungi. KEY WORDS: Streptomyces, S.albus INTRODUCTION: Numerous classifications were devised to accommodate the increasing number Morphological characterization: of streptomyces species, most of them based on a few subjectively chosen The spore chain morphology of the

  • Genome Mining of Biosynthetic and Chemotherapeutic Gene Clusters in Streptomyces Bacteria Kaitlyn C
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Genome mining of biosynthetic and chemotherapeutic gene clusters in Streptomyces bacteria Kaitlyn C. Belknap1,2, Cooper J. Park1,2, Brian M. Barth1 & Cheryl P. Andam 1* Streptomyces bacteria are known for their prolifc production of secondary metabolites, many of which have been widely used in human medicine, agriculture and animal health. To guide the efective prioritization of specifc biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) for drug development and targeting the most prolifc producer strains, knowledge about phylogenetic relationships of Streptomyces species, genome- wide diversity and distribution patterns of BGCs is critical. We used genomic and phylogenetic methods to elucidate the diversity of major classes of BGCs in 1,110 publicly available Streptomyces genomes. Genome mining of Streptomyces reveals high diversity of BGCs and variable distribution patterns in the Streptomyces phylogeny, even among very closely related strains. The most common BGCs are non-ribosomal peptide synthetases, type 1 polyketide synthases, terpenes, and lantipeptides. We also found that numerous Streptomyces species harbor BGCs known to encode antitumor compounds. We observed that strains that are considered the same species can vary tremendously in the BGCs they carry, suggesting that strain-level genome sequencing can uncover high levels of BGC diversity and potentially useful derivatives of any one compound. These fndings suggest that a strain-level strategy for exploring secondary metabolites for clinical use provides an alternative or complementary approach to discovering novel pharmaceutical compounds from microbes. Members of the bacterial genus Streptomyces (phylum Actinobacteria) are best known as major bacterial produc- ers of antibiotics and other useful compounds commonly used in human medicine, animal health and agricul- ture1,2.

Al-Saadi, NooraMajidHameed, Eman Mohammad Jaralla University of Babylon, College of Science [email protected] Abstract A total of 36 actinomycetes were isolated and purified from soil samples collected from agricultural soils in Hilla. The isolates were morphologically distinct on the basis of spore mass color, reverse slide color, aerial and substrate mycelia formation and production of diffusible pigment. Only two isolates which were S.A.2 and S.S.10 was selected for further investigation due to its strong antibacterial activity against six pathogenic bacteria which were (Staphylococcus aureus , Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeroginosa,Serratiamarcescens, Klebsiella pneumonia, Aeromonashydrophila). These two isolates was identified as Streptomycesorientalis and Streptomyces humidus respectively based on its morphological, cultural, physiological, microscopic features, utilization of carbon sources, biochemical characteristics and molecular analysis of the 16S rRNA gene primers. Keywords :actinomycetes, spore mass color, 16S rRNA gene primers. Introduction Actinomycetes are a group of prokaryotic organisms phylogenetically grouped as gram-positive bacteria with high guanine + cytosine in their DNA. Most of them are in subclass Actinobacteridae , order actinomycetales comprising of 14 suborders, 49 families, and over 140 genera (Adegboye and Babalola, 2012).They are filamentous bacteria which produce two kinds of branching mycelium, aerial mycelium and substrate mycelium.

Received: 15 November 2020; Accepted: 7 December 2020; Published: 9 December 2020 Abstract: Antibiotics produced by symbiotic microorganisms were previously shown to be of crucial importance for ecological communities, including ants. Previous works on ant–actinobacteria symbiosis are mainly focused on farming ants, which use antifungal microbial secondary metabolites to control pathogens in their fungal gardens. In this work, we studied microorganisms associated with carpenter ant Camponotus vagus. Pronounced antifungal activity of isolated actinobacteria strain A10 was found to be facilitated by biosynthesis of the antimycin A complex, consisting of small hydrophobic depsipeptides with high antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity.
