Mazumdar R, Thakur D. Antibacterial activity and biosynthetic potential of Streptomyces sp. PBR19, isolated from forest rhizosphere soil of Assam. Braz J Microbiol 2024:10.1007/s42770-024-01454-3. [PMID: 38985434 DOI: 10.1007/s42770-024-01454-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024] Open
Abstract
An Actinomycetia isolate, designated as PBR19, was derived from the rhizosphere soil of Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary (PWS), Assam, India. The isolate, identified as Streptomyces sp., shares a sequence similarity of 93.96% with its nearest type strain, Streptomyces atrovirens. This finding indicates the potential classification of PBR19 as a new taxon within the Actinomycetota phylum. PBR19 displayed notable antibacterial action against some ESKAPE pathogens. The ethyl acetate extract of PBR19 (EtAc-PBR19) showed the lowest minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ≥ 0.195 µg/mL against Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC BAA-1705. A lower MIC indicates higher potency against the tested pathogen. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) findings revealed significant changes in the cytoplasmic membrane structure of the pathogen. This suggests that the antibacterial activity may be linked to the disruption of the microbial membrane. The predominant chemical compound detected in the EtAc-PBR19 was identified as phenol, 3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl), comprising 48.59% of the area percentage. Additionally, PBR19 was found to contain the type II polyketide synthases (PKS type II) gene associated with antibiotic synthesis. The predicted gene product of PKSII was identified as the macrolide antibiotic Megalomicin A. The taxonomic distinctiveness, potent antibacterial effects, and the presence of a gene associated with antibiotic synthesis suggest that PBR19 could be a valuable candidate for further exploration in drug development and synthetic biology. The study contributes to the broader understanding of microbial diversity and the potential for discovering bioactive compounds in less-explored environments.

[PMID: 38864973 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-024-09666-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial resistance has surged due to widespread antimicrobial drug use, prompting interest in biosynthesizing nanoparticles from marine-derived actinomycetes extracellular metabolites, valued for their diverse bioactive compounds. This approach holds promise for addressing the urgent need for novel antimicrobial agents. The current study aimed to characterize novel bioactive compounds from unexplored biodiversity hotspots, halophilic Streptomyces sp. isolated from mangrove sediment in the Pichavaram region, India. METHODS AND RESULTS Streptomyces rochei SSCM102 was conclusively identified through morphological and molecular characterization. Synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from Streptomyces rochei SSCM102 was characterized using various techniques, including UV-Vis, XRD, SEM, EDX, and FT-IR. The UV-Vis spectrum of the reduced AgNPs exhibited a prominent peak at 380 nm, confirming the AgNPs. The UV-Vis spectrum confirmed the synthesis of AgNP, and SEM analysis revealed a cubic morphology with sizes ranging from 11 to 21 nm. The FTIR spectrum demonstrated a shift in frequency widths between 626 cm-1 and 3432 cm-1. The EDX analysis substantiated the presence of metallic silver, evident from a strong band at 1.44 keV. The synthesized AgNPs exhibited antibacterial efficacy against human pathogens Escherichia coli (64 ± 0.32 µg/ml), Klebsiella pneumoniae (32 ± 0.16 µg/ml), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (16 ± 0.08 µg/ml) by MIC and MBC values of 128 ± 0.64 (µg/ml), 64 ± 0.32 (µg/ml) and 32 ± 0.16 (µg/ml), respectively. Additionally, at a concentration of 400 µg/ml, the AgNPs displayed a 72% inhibition of DPPH radicals, indicating notable antioxidant capacity. The LC50 value of 130 µg/mL indicates that the green-synthesized AgNPs have lower toxicity by Brine Shrimp Larvae assay. CONCLUSION The study's novel approach to synthesizing eco-friendly silver nanoparticles using Halophilic Streptomyces rochei SSCM102 contributes significantly to the field of biomedical research and drug development. By demonstrating potent antibacterial properties and aligning with sustainability goals, these nanoparticles offer promising avenues for novel antibacterial therapies.

In-silico and in-vitro evaluation of antifungal bioactive compounds from Streptomyces sp. strain 130 against Aspergillus flavus. J Biomol Struct Dyn 2024:1-19. [PMID: 38319066 DOI: 10.1080/07391102.2024.2313167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
Streptomyces spp. are considered excellent reservoirs of natural bioactive compounds. The study evaluated the bioactive potential of secondary metabolites from Streptomyces sp. strain 130 through PKS-I and NRPS gene-clusters screening. GC-MS analysis was done for metabolic profiling of bioactive compounds from strain 130 in the next set of experiments. Identified antifungal compounds underwent ADMET analyses to screen their toxicity. All compounds' molecular docking was done with the structural gene products of the aflatoxin biosynthetic pathway of Aspergillus flavus. MD simulations were utilized to evaluate the stability of protein-ligand complexes under physiological conditions. Based on the in-silico studies, compound 2,4-di-tert butyl-phenol (DTBP) was selected for in-vitro studies against Aspergillus flavus. Simultaneously, bioactive compounds were extracted from strain 130 in two different solvents (ethyl-acetate and methanol) and used for similar assays. The MIC value of DTBP was found to be 314 µg/mL, whereas in ethyl-acetate extract and methanol-extract, it was 250 and 350 µg/mL, respectively. A mycelium growth assay was done to analyze the effect of compounds/extracts on the mycelium formation of Aspergillus flavus. In agar diffusion assay, zone of inhibitions in DTBP, ethyl-acetate extract, and methanol extract were observed with diameters of 11.3, 13.3, and 7.6 mm, respectively. In the growth curve assay, treated samples have delayed the growth of fungi, which signified that the compounds have a fungistatic nature. Spot assay has determined the fungal sensitivity to a sub-minimum inhibitory concentration of antifungal compounds. The study's results suggested that DTBP can be exploited for antifungal-drug development.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Actinomycetia are known for their ability to produce a wide range of bioactive secondary metabolites having significant therapeutic importance. This study aimed to explore the potential of actinomycetia as a source of bioactive compounds with antimicrobial properties against multi-drug-resistant (MDR) clinical pathogens. A total of 65 actinomycetia were isolated from two unexplored forest ecosystems, namely the Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary (PWS) and the Deepor Beel Wildlife Sanctuary (DBWS), located in the Indo-Burma mega-biodiversity hotspots of northeast India, out of which 19 isolates exhibited significant antimicrobial activity. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used for the identification and phylogenetic analysis of the 19 potent actinomycetia isolates. The results reveal that the most dominant genus among the isolates was Streptomyces (84.21%), followed by rare actinomycetia genera such as Nocardia, Actinomadura, and Nonomuraea. Furthermore, seventeen of the isolates tested positive for at least one antibiotic biosynthetic gene, specifically type II polyketide synthase (PKS-II) and nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs). These genes are associated with the production of bioactive compounds with antimicrobial properties. Among the isolated strains, three actinomycetia strains, namely Streptomyces sp. PBR1, Streptomyces sp. PBR36, and Streptomyces sp. DBR11, demonstrated the most potent antimicrobial activity against seven test pathogens. This was determined through in vitro antimicrobial bioassays and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of ethyl acetate extracts. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GS-MS) and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of the three strains revealed a diverse group of bioactive compounds and secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (smBGCs), respectively, indicating their high therapeutic potential. These findings highlight the potential of these microorganisms to serve as a valuable resource for the discovery and development of novel antibiotics and other therapeutics with high therapeutic potential.

Abstract
The Actinomycetia isolate, MNP32 was isolated from the Manas National Park of Assam, India, located in the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot region of Northeast India. Morphological observations and molecular characterization revealed its identity to be Streptomyces sp. with a 99.86% similar to Streptomyces camponoticapitis strain I4-30 through 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The strain exhibited broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against a wide range of bacterial human pathogens including WHO-listed critical priority pathogens such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Acinetobacter baumannii. The ethyl acetate extract was found to disrupt the membrane of the test pathogens which was evidenced through scanning electron microscopy, membrane disruption assay and confocal microscopy. Cytotoxicity studies against CC1 hepatocytes demonstrated that EA-MNP32 had a negligible effect on cell viability. Chemical analysis of the bioactive fraction using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) showed the presence of 2 major chemical compounds that include Phenol, 3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)- and [1,1'-Biphenyl]-2,3'-diol, 3,4',5,6'-tetrakis(1,1-dimethylethyl)- which have been reported to possess antimicrobial activity. The phenolic hydroxyl groups of these compounds were proposed to interact with the carbonyl group of the cytoplasmic proteins and lipids leading to destabilization and rupture of the cell membrane. These findings highlight the potential of exploring culturable actinobacteria from the microbiologically under-explored forest ecosystem of Northeast India and bioactive compounds from MNP32 which can be beneficial for future antibacterial drug development.
