Endophytic Actinomycetes: A Novel Antibiotic Source
Antibiotics are secondary metabolites produced by some microorganisms to inhibit or kill many other microorganisms including different bacteria, viruses and eukaryotic cells. Antibiotics are secondary metabolites and these have also been termed “idiolites” (Walker, 1974). Subsequent and widespread use of antibiotics for therapeutic purposes regularly in human, veterinary and agricultural purpos...
متن کاملEndophytic Actinomycetes: A Novel Source of Potential Acyl Homoserine Lactone Degrading Enzymes
Several Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria employ N-acyl-L-homoserine lactone (HSL) quorum sensing (QS) system to control their virulence traits. Degradation of acyl-HSL signal molecules by quorum quenching enzyme (QQE) results in a loss of pathogenicity in QS-dependent organisms. The QQE activity of actinomycetes in rhizospheric soil and inside plant tissue was explored in order to obtain novel...
متن کاملEndophytic Actinomycetes as Emerging Source for Therapeutic Compounds
Endophytic actinomycetes, which reside within the plant tissues, are reported to have several beneficial effects on the host-plants, such as, inhibition of pathogens, increase in availability of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, increasing plant growth etc. Besides these roles, they are also known to produce secondary metabolites of varied therapeutic significance. Actinomycetes isolated ...
متن کاملActinomycetes: A Source of Lignocellulolytic Enzymes
Lignocellulose is the most abundant biomass on earth. Agricultural, forest, and agroindustrial activities generate tons of lignocellulosic wastes annually, which present readily procurable, economically affordable, and renewable feedstock for various lignocelluloses based applications. Lignocelluloses are the focus of present decade researchers globally, in an attempt to develop technologies ba...
