In this study, an antimicrobial-producing Actinomycetes PJ90 was isolated from forest soil in Suranaree University of Technology, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand. The morphological characteristics and 16S rRNA gene analysis revealed that isolate PJ90 could be classified as Streptomyces triostinicus. The isolate PJ90 exhibited antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus TISTR1466, Staphylococcus epidermidis TISTR518, Bacillus subtilis TISTR008, Candida albicans TISTR5779, Candida tropicalis TISTR5174 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae TISTR5049. To our best knowledge, this study constitutes the first anti-bacterial and anti-yeast activities of Streptomyces triostinicus isolated from soil in Thailand.

Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. macedonicus ST91KM produces a bacteriocin (macedocin ST91KM) active against Streptococcus agalactiae , Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. dysgalactiae , Streptococcus uberis , Staphylococcus aureus , and Staphylococcus epidermidis . Macedocin ST91KM is, according to tricine-SDS PAGE, between 2.0 and 2.5 kDa in size. Antimicrobial activity remained unchanged after 2 h of incubation at pH 2.0–10.0 and after 100 min at 100 °C. The peptide was inactivated after 20 min at 121 °C and when treated with proteolytic enzymes. Treatment with α-amylase had no effect on activity, suggesting that the mode of action does not depend on glycosylation. Amplification of the genome of strain ST91KM with primers designed from the macedocin precursor gene (mcdA) produced 2 fragments (approximately 375 and 220 bp) instead of one 150-bp fragment, as recorded for macedocin produced by Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. macedonicus ACA-DC 198. Strain ACA-DC 198 was not available. However, DNA amplified from strain LMG 18488 (ACA-DC 206), genetically closely related to strain ACA-DC 198, revealed 99% homology to the mcdA of strain ACA-DC 198 (accession No. DQ835394). Macedocin ST91KM may thus be a second putative bacteriocin described for Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. macedonicus.

Identification and antimicrobial assay of indegenous marine Streptomyces have been conducted. Samples were obtained from culture collection of Biotech Center, Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT). They were originated from several Indonesian seashores including Pelabuhan Ratu, Pangandaran, Manokwari, Pulau Seribu, Garut, Bangka, Banjarmasin, Belitung, Cirebon, and Palu. Isolates stored as glycerol stocks were inoculated onto HV (Humic acid vitamin) agar and incubated for 5 days at 30 °C. Each colony was cultivated using yeast-peptone medium and then extracted by butanol. Antimicrobial activities were monitored by the agar diffusion paper-disc method against Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 66923, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Candida albicans BIOMCC 00122 and Aspergillus niger BIOMCC 0013. Molecular identification of Streptomyces was carried out based on 16S rRNA gene analysis. Our research results showed that 71 isolates obtained from several Indonesian seashore were identified as 57 different Streptomyces species. Fifty of them showed antimicrobial activity. Twenty three isolates inhibited B. subtilis ATCC 66923, 14 isolates inhibited S. aureus ATCC 25923, 24 isolates inhibited C. albicans BIOMCC 00122 and 26 isolates inhibited A. niger BIOMCC 0013 and there was no active isolates inhibited the growth of E. coli ATCC 25922 and P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Streptomyces isolates originated from the same geographically region was not necessarily grouped into the same cluster. Likewise a phylogenetic cluster may contain isolates of the same Streptomyces species, but from geographically different locations.

Sponge-associated actinobacteria may diverse and have potency to produce bioactive compounds. Diversity and antimicrobial activity of indigenous sponge-associated actinobacteria isolated from the marine ecosystem in Indonesia have not much been explored. This work aimed to assess morphological and antibacterial activity of sponge-associated actinobacteria. The morphological characteristics were examined based on their color of aerial and substrate mycelia, and pigmentation, while antibacterial activities were assayed using the antagonist technique. The selected actinobacterial isolate was identified using 16S rRNA gene. Various sponge-associated actinobacteria were successfully isolated from Hyrtios sp., Callyspongia sp., and Neofibularia sp. sponges. A total of 62 actinobacterial isolates were obtained, and each isolate showed a variety of morphological characters, which could be seen in aerial mass color, substrate mass color, and pigmentation. Actinobacterial isolates were tested against human pathogenic bacteria, i.e. Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-Resistant S. aureus, representing Gram-positive, and Escherichia coli EPEC K1-1 and Shigella dysenteriae, representing Gram-negative. Most of actinobacterial isolates had antimicrobial activities at least against one of pathogenic bacteria. High activity was shown by NOHa.2, isolated from Neofibularia, and HRHa.5 isolated from Hyrtios. The NOHa.2 showed the highest antimicrobial activity against S. dysenteriae, meanwhile, HRHa.5 showed antimicrobial activity against 3 of 4 tested bacterial pathogens. These data showed diversity of sponge-asccociated actinobacteria from marine ecosystem in Indonesia, and several of them have potency as source of antibacterial compounds

ABSTRACT The Alvord Basin in southeast Oregon contains a variety of hydrothermal features which have never been microbiologically characterized. A sampling of Murky Pot (61°C; pH 7.1) led to the isolation of a novel arsenic-metabolizing organism (YeAs) which produces an arsenic sulfide mineral known as β-realgar, a mineral that has not previously been observed as a product of bacterial arsenic metabolism. YeAs was grown on a freshwater medium and utilized a variety of organic substrates, particularly carbohydrates and organic acids. The temperature range for growth was 37 to 75°C (optimum, 55°C), and the pH range for growth was 6.0 to 8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0 to 7.5). No growth was observed when YeAs was grown under aerobic conditions. The doubling time when the organism was grown with yeast extract and As(V) was 0.71 h. Microscopic examination revealed Gram stain-indeterminate, non-spore-forming, nonmotile, rod-shaped cells, with dimensions ranging from 0.1 to 0.2 μm wide by 3 to 10 μm long. Arsenic sulfide mineralization of cell walls and extracellular arsenic sulfide particulate deposition were observed with electron microscopy and elemental analysis. 16S rRNA gene analysis placed YeAs in the family Clostridiaceae and indicated that the organism is most closely related to the Caloramator and Thermobrachium species. The G+C content was 35%. YeAs showed no detectable respiratory arsenate reductase but did display significant detoxification arsenate reductase activity. The phylogenetic, physiological, and morphological characteristics of YeAs demonstrate that it is an anaerobic, moderately thermophilic, arsenic-reducing bacterium. This organism and its associated metabolism could have major implications in the search for innovative methods for arsenic waste management and in the search for novel biogenic mineral signatures.

We compared the duration of antimicrobial effectiveness of 2 different antimicrobial catheters. The baseline activity of minocycline-rifampin catheters was greater than that of silver-platinum-carbon catheters against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Enterococcus faecalis. The antimicrobial activity of the minocycline-rifampin catheters against these pathogens persisted for up to 12 days, while that of the silver-platinum-carbon catheters was depleted by day 10 (P< .05).

A total of 13 Actinomycete strains were isolated from 70 soil samples collected from five locations across the Jeddah Province, while the other two locations located in Baljurashi province of Saudi Arabia. All 13 isolates were purified and subjected to enzymatic screening and antibacterial assays. The results indicated that two of these isolates (AC45 and AC69) produced both enzymes and exerted some antibacterial activity. Isolate AC45 produced more amylase and polygalacturonase (697.8 and 1498.59 units/ml, respectively) than isolate AC69; however, AC69 secreted more lipase than AC45 (6957 and 22127 unit/ml, respectively). Furthermore, both AC45 and AC69 exhibited good antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Bacillus subtilis. The two isolates were identified using their 16S rRNA sequences, and the results suggest that isolate AC45 shares 99.71% similarity with Streptomyces lavenduligriseus and isolate AC69 shares 99% similarity with Streptomyces sp.

The antimicrobial effect of the ZnO nanoparticles dispersed in polyurethane varnishes was investigated. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated against three bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and one strain fungi (Sacharomyces cerevisiae) by the 'pour-plate' test. It was shown that the ZnO nanoparticles efficiently inhibit growth of the colonies of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but their activity against Escherichia coli was found to be questionable suggesting more detailed research.

Cobalt(II) chloride reacts with 2-aminobenzimidazole derivatives to give complexes of the formula [CoL2Cl2], where L=2-aminobenzimidazole 1-benzyl-2-aminobenzimidazole and 1-(4-methylbenzyl)-2-aminobenzimidazole. All the ligands and their cobalt(II) complexes were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus sp. Staphylococcus aureus, Sarcina lutea and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for all ligands and their complexes. It was found that tested compounds were more active against gram-positive than gram-negative bacteria. None of the compounds were significantly effective against yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, except 2-aminobenzimidazole complex, which moderately inhibited the growth of yeast. 1-(4-methylbenzil)-2-aminobenzimidazole was found to be slightly active against Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The same ligand showed the lowest MIC value of 60 (g/ml against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as 125 (g/ml, against Bacillus sp. and Sarcina lutea. The MIC value of its cobalt(II) complex was 60 (g/ml against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Cobalt(II) complex with 1-benzyl-2-aminobenzimidazole showed the lowest MIC value of 60 (g/ml against Staphylococcus aureus. The effect of ligand and complex structure on the antimicrobial activity was discussed.
