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 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 کاملEndophytic Fungi: A Potential Source of Bioactive Compounds
Endophytic fungi are ubiquitous in nature and reside intercellular or intracellular in the plants, at least for a portion of their lives without causing apparent symptoms of infection. Almost all plants are known to harbor endophytes. The choice of the plant to be used for exploring endophytes for bioactive compounds is important. Secondary metabolites serve in multiple physiologic functions, m...
متن کاملEndophytic Fungi as Resource of Bioactive Compounds
Endophytic fungi live inside plants, apparently do not cause any harm to their hosts and may play important roles in defense and growth promotion. Endophytes are microorganism that lives between living plant cell. Their relationship may vary with plant from symbiotic to bordening on pathogenic. Endophytes may contribute to their host plant by producing a plethora of substances that provide prot...
متن کاملProduction of Bioactive Compounds by Actinomycetes and Their Antioxidant Properties
An actinomycete was isolated from mangrove soil collected from Nellore region of Andhra Pradesh, India, and screened for its ability to produce bioactive compounds. The cultural, morphological, and biochemical characters and 16S rRNA sequencing suggest that the isolated strain is Nocardiopsis alba. The bioactive compounds produced by this strain were purified by column chromatography. The in vi...
