Abstract:In this study, we investigated the taxonomic diversity of actinomycetes isolated from swine manure compost that had undergone self-heating. Pretreatment with sodium dodecyl sulfate and subsequent cultivation of the compost sample on humic acid-vitamin agar at 30 and 50 C resulted in the selective isolation of 125 actinomycete strains. These isolates were classified using a combination of morphological characterization and 16S rDNA sequence analysis, with sequence similarities of 97% and 99% used to identify is… Show more

The rhizosphere microbiome offers a range of ecosystem services to the plant, including nutrient acquisition and tolerance to (a)biotic stress. Here, analysing the data by Mendes et al. (2011), we show that short heat disturbances (50 or 80 °C, 1 h) of a soil suppressive to the root pathogenic fungus Rhizoctonia solani caused significant increase in alpha diversity of the rhizobacterial community and led to partial or complete loss of disease protection. A reassembly model is proposed where bacterial families that are heat tolerant and have high growth rates significantly increase in relative abundance after heat disturbance, while temperature-sensitive and slow-growing bacteria have a disadvantage. The results also pointed to a potential role of slow-growing, heat-tolerant bacterial families from Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria phyla in plant disease protection. In conclusion, short heat disturbance of soil results in rearrangement of rhizobacterial communities and this is correlated with changes in the ecosystem service disease suppression.

Manure compost is a unique microenvironment which harbours potential new microorganisms that is able to produce a variety of anti-infective agents. However, the exploration of this ecosystem for actinomycetes and its bioactive secondary metabolites remained understudied. Therefore, this study aims to study the diversity of manure compost actinomycetes and to investigate their antimicrobial potential using conventional disc diffusion method and a modified resazurin microtiter based approach. A collection of 191 actinomycete isolates were recovered from 5 types of manure composts collected around Selangor, Malaysia. Utilizing a combination of micromorphological characteristics and 16S rRNA sequence analysis, the isolated actinomycetes were grouped into 12 genera within 9 families. Streptomyces spp. dominated the culture collection (79.1%) while the rest belonged to the non-Streptomyces group (20.9%), including an unusual isolate from the genus Verrucosispora. The evaluation of antimicrobial activities demonstrated that 21.5% of the isolates exhibited antagonistic effect against at least one of the test microorganisms with strong inhibition observed against fungal strains compared to pathogenic bacteria. A modified resazurin microtiter based assay was also developed and displayed higher sensitivity (40.0%) compared to the disc diffusion assay (26.0%). All ten actinomycete isolates which displayed narrow and broad spectrum effects also produce pigmented extracts. The results demonstrated that manure compost actinomycetes could be a promising source of novel bioactive agents and that the resazurin microtiter based assay is a more sensitive approach in screening antimicrobial properties of large numbers of microbial extracts.
AbstractSecondary metabolites obtained from Actinomycetales provide a potential source of many novel compounds with antibacterial, antitumour, antifungal, antiviral, antiparasitic and other properties. The majority of these compounds are widely used as medicines for combating multidrug-resistant Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. Members of the genus Streptomyces are profile producers of previously-known secondary metabolites. Actinomycetes have been isolated from terrestrial soils, from the rhizospheres of plant roots, and recently from marine sediments. This review demonstrates the diversity of secondary metabolites produced by actinomycete strains with respect to their chemical structure, biological activity and origin. On the basis of this diversity, this review concludes that the discovery of new bioactive compounds will continue to pose a great challenge for scientists.
