The rapid increase in drug resistance among bacteria is a public health challenge in the 21 century. To combat drug resistance, searching for new broad-spectrum antibiotics is urgent and marine microbial flora may be a potential source. The present study was designed to isolate marine actinomycetes strains (AIAH-01 to AIAH-29) from the soil sediments of different locations of the sundarbans man...

The purpose of this work was to screen the actinomycetes having antitumor or antimicrobial activity, which were isolated from the surface, epidermis and intestines of sea plants and animals collected from the Taiwan Strait, China. Antitumor activity was studied by the MTT assay and DNA target activity was studied by the biochemical induction assay while antimicrobial activity was determined by ...

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...

HIGHLIGHTS Streptomyces sp. nkm1 was isolated from a marine soil sample and identified using morphological molecular techniques. had the highest antifungal activity against some plant pathogenic fungi on M6 medium. On Aspergillus flavus, minimum inhibitor concentration of ethyl acetate Crude extract more effective. The GC-MS analysis revealed 26 components, with nonadecane being most important ...

Since the marine environmental conditions are extremely different from the other ones, marine actinomycetes might produce novel bioactive compounds. Therefore, actinomycete strains were screened from marine water and sediment samples collected from the coastal areas of Northern Vietnam. Ninety-nine actinomycete strains were obtained on starch-casein agar media by dilution technique, only seven ...

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....

The current study was carried out to evaluate the in-vitro and in-vivo efficiency of alphaglucosidase inhibitor of marine actinobacteria in the control of postprandial hyperglycaemia.Soil samples were collected from salterns, coastal area in Kothapatnam, Ongole, AndhraPradesh, India. Among the actinobacterial isolates tested for yeastα-glucosidase inhibitoryactivity, only three isolates showed ...
