Biodiscovery from microbial resources: Actinomycetes leading the way
نویسنده
چکیده
Biodiscovery from microbial resources can be defined as the exploration of microbial metabolic products to detect, identify and evaluate their potential for medicinal, agricultural and biotechnological operations. Microbial resource centres house microbial compounds produced under different physical and nutritional parameters to maximise the production of metabolites and are subsequently tested in different bioassays to define targeted activity.

Marine genomics: at the interface of marine microbial ecology and biodiscovery
The composition and activities of microbes from diverse habitats have been the focus of intense research during the past decade with this research being spurred on largely by advances in molecular biology and genomic technologies. In recent years environmental microbiology has entered very firmly into the age of the 'omics' – (meta)genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics – with prob...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Silver nanoparticles from Actinomycetes for therapeutic applications
Silver is composed of a large percentage of silver oxide due to their large ratio of surface to bulk silver atoms. Silver nanoparticles have been a potent antibacterial, antifungal, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory agent. A simple, eco-friendly, inexpensive biosynthetic method was employed to synthesize silver nanoparticles. The present study aimed at the comparative study of silver nanopartic...

Endophytic actinomycetes were isolated from surface sterilized leaves of Catharanthes roseus (L.) G. Don offamily Apocynaceae. A total of 38 endophytic actinomycetes were recovered on Starch Casein Agar.Among the 38 isolates 20 morphologically different isolates were screened for antibacterial activity againstBacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pr...
متن کاملEffect of salinity on the adhesive power actinomycetes in soil
Actinomycetes remain one of the leading sources of microbial-derived natural products. Able to colonize various ecological niches including the most extreme, they are, increasingly, concerned research materials of microbial physiology from adverse circumstance. In this work, actinomycetes were isolated from soils of the region Beni Amir, Morocco, where the salinity is, relatively, high degrees....
