Streptomyces sp. PTY087I2 is a marine bacterium isolated from Styela canopus, a tunicate collected in Bocas del Toro, Panama. Here, we report a draft genome sequence for this bacterium, found to have 94.7% average nucleotide identity (ANI) with Streptomyces roseosporus NRRL 11379, and containing a diverse suite of secondary metabolite gene clusters.

Mangroves are the tidal forest existing in the intertidal zone and usually considered as the special marine ecosystem. In the present study, 452 actinomycetes were recovered from nine diferent sites at Maowei Sea Mangrove Reserve in Qinzhou (Guangxi province, China). Among them, Seventy-four strains were purified for 16s RNA gene sequencing and further characterization. The results indicated th...

actinomycetes were isolated from marine sediment samples collected from the east coast of chennai, tamil nadu, india. well diffusion and agar plug methods were used for the evaluation of antibiotic production by these isolates against drug resistant methicillin- resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) and vancomycin resistant enterococci (vre). the potential isolate vitbrk2 was mass cultured for...

The present study demonstrates the production and properties of a biosurfactant isolated from marine Streptomyces species B3. The production of the biosurfactant was found to be higher in medium containing sucrose and lower in the medium containing glycerol. Yeast extract was the best nitrogen source for the production of the biosurfactant. The isolated biosurfactant reduced the surface tension...

Marine actinomycetes are potential source for the discovery of novel compounds and enzymes. Though extensive research on marine actinomycetes is underway globally, the actinomycetes research from Indian marine ecosystem is unexplored and understudied. Hence, the present research is focussed on the screening of bioactive compounds from marine actinomycetes isolated from Indian coastal region. Th...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antagonistic activity of marine Streptomyces sp. VITBRK1 against Methicillin resistance Staphylococcus aures (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE). Drug resistance by Bacterial pathogens do exhibit significant tolerance to standard antimicrobials during infections and drug resistance currently a growing problem worldwide. A total of 1...

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...

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...
