Abstract: Background: Actinomycetes are unique and ubiquitous organisms in nature historically holding first position as one of the major antibiotic producers. The aim study was screening pre-treatments soil, marine, mangrove samples for isolation producing actinomycetes. Materials Methods: were isolated from pre-treated using different media. They assessed antimicrobial activity by cross strea...

Actinomycetes are an important resource for the discovery of natural products with therapeutic properties. Bioprospecting for actinomycetes typically proceeds without a priori knowledge of the bacterial diversity present in sampled habitats. In this study, we endeavored to determine if overall bacterial diversity in marine sediments, as determined by 16S rDNA amplicon pyrosequencing, could be c...

Introduction: Marine actinomycetes have a great potential to produce unique bioactive compounds due to their special adaptation in the harsh ocean environment. The current study aimed to isolate anti-cancer compounds producing actinomycetes from sediments of Harra forests of the Persian Gulf and investigate their potential as anti-breast cancer metabolites. Methods: In the current study, 40 se...

Deep sea is a unique and extreme environment. It is a hot spot for hunting marine actinomycetes resources and secondary metabolites. The novel deep sea actinomycete species reported from 2006 to 2016 including 21 species under 13 genera with the maximum number from Microbacterium, followed by Dermacoccus, Streptomyces and Verrucosispora, and one novel species for the other 9 genera. Eight gener...

Chemotherapy is one of the main treatments used to combat cancer. A great number of antitumor compounds are natural products or their derivatives, mainly produced by microorganisms. In particular, actinomycetes are the producers of a large number of natural products with different biological activities, including antitumor properties. These antitumor compounds belong to several structural class...

Andaman and Nicobar Islands, considered as one of the important marine ecosystem in India and being considered as the richest source for microbial community. The marine microbial taxa and actinomycetes diversity are not been fully explored. Actinomycetes were isolated from marine soil samples and screened for antibacterial activity. Out of eight isolates, the isolate AN1 isolated from soil samp...

Fusarium spp. damages the roots of crops, its control is with synthetic fungicides, however, marine actinomycetes can be an option to use agrochemicals. The objective this work was identification and morphological characterization as antagonists solani (Mart.) Sacc. isolated from diseased tomato plants mangrove sediment actinomycetes, both identified through taxonomic keys molecular techniques....
