The air dried rhizosphere soil samples pretreated with calcium carbonate was employed for the isolation of actinomycete strains. Serial dilution plate technique was used for the isolation of actinomycetes. A total of 20 actinomycete strains designated as BS1-BS20 were isolated from the rhizosphere of medicinal plant Clitoria ternatea. All the 20 strains were subjected to primary screening for antimicrobial activity. Among the 20 strains screened, 10 strains exhibited high antimicrobial spectrum against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans.

Abstract Background Tomato plant growth is frequently hampered by a high susceptibility to pests and diseases. Traditional chemical control causes a serious impact on both the environment and human health. Therefore, seeking environment-friendly and cost-effective green methods in agricultural production becomes crucial nowadays. Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) can promote plant growth through biological activity. Their use is considered to be a promising sustainable approach for crop growth. Moreover, a vast number of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) for secondary metabolite production are being revealed in PGPR, which helps to find potential anti-microbial activities for tomato disease control. Results We isolated 181 Bacillus-like strains from healthy tomato, rhizosphere soil, and tomato tissues. In vitro antagonistic assays revealed that 34 Bacillus strains have antimicrobial activity against Erwinia carotovora, Pseudomonas syringae; Rhizoctonia solani; Botrytis cinerea; Verticillium dahliae and Phytophthora infestans. The genomes of 10 Bacillus and Paenibacillus strains with good antagonistic activity were sequenced. Via genome mining approaches, we identified 120 BGCs encoding NRPs, PKs-NRPs, PKs, terpenes and bacteriocins, including known compounds such as fengycin, surfactin, bacillibactin, subtilin, etc. In addition, several novel BGCs were identified. We discovered that the NRPs and PKs-NRPs BGCs in Bacillus species are encoding highly conserved known compounds as well as various novel variants. Conclusions This study highlights the great number of varieties of BGCs in Bacillus strains. These findings pave the road for future usage of Bacillus strains as biocontrol agents for tomato disease control and are a resource arsenal for novel antimicrobial discovery.

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.

Three new lavandulylated flavonoids, (2S,2′’S)-6-lavandulyl-7,4′-dimethoxy-5,2′-dihydroxylflavanone (1), (2S,2′’S)-6-lavandulyl-5,7,2′,4′-tetrahydroxylflavanone (2), and (2′’S)-5′-lavandulyl-2′-methoxy-2,4,4′,6′-tetrahydroxylchalcone (3), along with seven known compounds 4–10 were isolated from culture broth of Streptomyces sp. G248. Their structures were established by spectroscopic data analysis, including 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS). The absolute configurations of 1–3 were resolved by comparison of their experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism spectra. Compounds 1–3 exhibited remarkable antimicrobial activity. Whereas, two known compounds 4 and 5 exhibited inhibitory activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 6.0 µg/mL and 11.1 µg/mL, respectively.

The present study attempted to explore actinobacteria from different insect nest samples for antimicrobial activity. Totally, 43 actinobacterial colonies were recovered from ant nest, termite nest, wasp nest and blanket worm nest samples by adopting standard spread plate method. Screening of antimicrobial properties of actinobacterial strains was determined by agar plug method. Two actinobacterial strains AN1 and AN5 showed promising activity (14-18 mm inhibition) against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Mycobacterium smegmatis. Both the strains produced antimicrobial compound earlier on ISP2 agar when compared to ISP2 broth. Crude extracts from the strains AN1 and AN5 were produced by adopting agar surface fermentation and extracted using ethyl acetate. Based on the studied phenotypic characteristics, actinobacterial strains AN1 and AN5 isolated from ant nest were identified as Streptomyces sp. In addition to antimicrobial activity, extracts also showed anti-HIV activity. This study concluded that insect nest is a promising source for bioactive actinobacteria. Two potential Streptomyces sp. AN1 and AN5 isolated from ant nest will be promising sources for antimicrobial metabolites against drug resistant bacteria, retrovirus and mycobacterial pathogens.
