Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of antituberculous compound producing actinomycete strain D25 isolated from Thar Desert soil, Rajasthan.


ABSTRACT: During the course of the anti-infective drug discovery programme, actinomycete strain D25 was recovered from the Thar Desert soil, Rajasthan, India. Actinomycin type of compound isolated from the strain D25 showed promising activity against multi drug resistant and extensively drug resistant M. tuberculosis isolates. The present study reports the characteristics and phylogenetic status of the actinomycete strain D25. Phenotypic and cell wall characteristics revealed that the strain belongs to the genus Streptomyces. Further 16s rRNA analysis confined the genus Streptomyces with 97% similarity to the closely related species Streptomyces althioticus KCTC 9752. The 16s rRNA sequence was submitted to GenBank with the accession number JN604533.1. According to Bossard et al. (2003) strain D25 was found to be a novel species of the genus Streptomyces from Thar Desert soil, Rajasthan.
