Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activities of Novel Actinobacteria Strain Isolated from Gulf of Khambhat, Gujarat

Abstract

Bacterial secondary metabolites possess a wide range of biologically active compounds including antibacterial and antioxidants. In this study, a Gram-positive novel marine Actinobacteria was isolated from sea sediment which showed 84% 16S rRNA gene sequence (KT588655) similarity with Streptomyces variabilis (EU841661) and designated as Streptomyces variabilis RD-5. The genus Streptomyces is considered as a promising source of bioactive secondary metabolites. The isolated novel bacterial strain was characterized by antibacterial characteristics and antioxidant activities. The BIOLOG based analysis suggested that S. variabilis RD-5 utilized a wide range of substrates compared to the reference strain. The result is further supported by statistical analysis such as AWCD (average well color development), heat-map and PCA (principal component analysis). The whole cell fatty acid profiling showed the dominance of iso/anteiso branched C15–C17 long chain fatty acids. The identified strain S. variabilis RD-5 exhibited a broad spectrum of antibacterial activities for the Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli NCIM 2065, Shigella boydii NCIM, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae, Pseudomonas sp. NCIM 2200 and Salmonella enteritidis NCIM), and Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis NCIM 2920 and Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 96). Extract of S. variabilis strain RD-5 showed 82.86 and 89% of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging and metal chelating activity, respectively, at 5.0 mg/mL. While H2O2 scavenging activity was 74.5% at 0.05 mg/mL concentration. Furthermore, polyketide synthases (PKSs types I and II), an enzyme complex that produces polyketides, the encoding gene(s) detected in the strain RD-5 which may probably involve for the synthesis of antibacterial compound(s). In conclusion, a novel bacterial strain of Actinobacteria, isolated from the unexplored sea sediment of Alang, Gulf of Khambhat (Gujarat), India showed promising antibacterial activities. However, fractionation and further characterization of active compounds from S. variabilis RD-5 are needed for their optimum utilization toward antibacterial purposes.

Genome Mining Revealed a High Biosynthetic Potential for Antifungal Streptomyces sp. S-2 Isolated from Black Soot

“…S-2, aside from antibiotic activity, might display antitumor, anti-inflammatory, or antioxidant activities, or function as insecticides. Such activities have been previously reported in the Streptomyces genus [2,10,[70][71][72]. Considering the biosynthetic potential of the S-2 strain, future research focusing on investigation of these activities is ensured.…”

Anthracycline Shunt Metabolites From Philippine Marine Sediment-Derived Streptomyces Destroy Cell Membrane Integrity of Multidrug-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

“…As a result, marine microorganisms developed unique metabolic and physiological ability to survive by activating their environment adaptation genes (ENAs) (Almeida et al, 2019). Because of this, they produce different secondary metabolites that their terrestrial counterparts do not have (Imada, 2005;Zheng et al, 2011;Dholakiya et al, 2017).…”

Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Activities of Novel Marine Bacteria (Bacillus 2011SOCCUF3) Isolated from Marine Sponge (Spongia officinalis)

“…[23][24][25] Studies have shown that extracts of actinobacteria isolate from soil or marine sediments possess strong antibacterial and antioxidant activities. [26][27][28] Based on this, we investigated the antioxidant properties of the extract and the VLC fractions. The extract and VLC fractions showed high antioxidant activity in the DPPH assay, evident in the low IC 50 values obtained (1.008 -7.140 mg/mL) ( Table 4).…”
