Characterization of antimicrobial metabolites produced by halophilic Actinomyces isolated from Aran-Bidgol and Maharlu lakes

Authors

Abstract:

  Introduction: The purpose of this study was isolation of halophilic Actinomyces and the evaluation of their potential for producing antimicrobial metabolites. Material and method: To isolate antimicrobial metabolites producing Actinomyces, culture supernatant of 51 halophilic Actinnomyces isolates were assessed against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger using Well Diffusion Agar (WDA) method. Then the promising strains were identified by Api kit (bioMerieux) and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The antimicrobial production was optimized at different temperatures, pHs, and variety of carbon, nitrogen-sources. Then the best solvents and the structural analysis of the metabolites carried out by UV-visible and GC mass spectrometry. Results: Out of 51strains of halophilic Actinomyces isolates, three strains showed potent activity for the production of antimicrobial metabolites. Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans were sensitive to all and E. coli and pseudomonas aeruginosa were resistance to the bioactive compounds. Phenotyping and molecular identification of the antimicrobial metabolites producing strains recognized them as Streptomyces sp. Ahbb4, Streptomyces flavidofuscus strain HBUM1740 and Actinomycete Nd28. Optimal temperature, pH and C, N-sources for growth of these strains were 27°C, 8 and fructose, xylose and yeast extract and peptone respectively and the best solvents for all were methanol and xylene. In addition, The UV-visible and GC mass spectrometry suggesting the peptide nature of the compounds. However chloroacetate, ethylcholoroacetate and 4 chloro 3 hydroxybutyronitrite groups could be probably linked to the structures, but complete structure elucidations were not fully recognized. Discussion and conclusion: Our finding probably introduces new antimicrobial metabolites produced by halophilic Actinomyces however it needs more evaluation.

Halovenus aranensis gen. nov., sp. nov., an extremely halophilic archaeon from Aran-Bidgol salt lake.

A novel red-pigmented halophilic archaeon, strain EB27(T), was isolated from Aran-Bidgol salt lake, a hypersaline playa in Iran. Cells of strain EB27(T) were non-motile and pleomorphic (rods to triangular or disc-shaped). Strain EB27(T) required at least 2.5 M NaCl and 0.1 M MgCl(2) for growth. Optimal growth was achieved at 4 M NaCl and 0.5 M MgCl(2). The optimum pH and temperature for growth ...

isolated two native extreme halophilic bacteria strains capable to producing bacteriorhodopsin protein from aran-bidgol lake.

bacteriorhodopsin operates as a light/proton transfer pump which converts the light energy into a proton gradient. energy stored in the proton gradient can be used in a variety of ways. bacteriorhodopsin producing sources are some halobacterium species such as halobacterium sodomense and halobacterium salinarum which continue to grow in harsh and salt-saturated conditions. two types of red pigm...

Isolation, morphological and molecular identification of Dunaliella species in Hoz-e Soltan and Aran-va-Bidgol salt Lakes (Iran)

In this study, Dunaliella has been isolated in Jun. 2014 from Hoz-e Soltan and Aran-va-Bidgol salt Lakes (Iran). The isolates have been identified morphologically with the aid of simple light and invert microscope after isolation and purification on their specific medium (Moh202). By using molecular techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and amplification of 18S rDNA gene primers, f...
