Rhodomycin analogues from Streptomyces purpurascens: isolation, characterization and biological activities.

ABSTRACT: During a screening program for bioactive natural products, a potential Streptomyces sp was isolated from soil. On the basis of biochemical, cultural, physiological and 16S rRNA gene analysis, it was identified as Streptomyces purpurascens. The isolate was grown in liquid medium and the crude antibiotic complex was obtained by ethyl acetate extraction. Seven purified fractions were obtained by preparative Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC). Acid hydrolysis of each fraction and subsequent TLC led to the identification of aglycones and sugars indicating these compounds to be Rhodomycin and its analogues. The identity of these compounds was established on the basis of UV-visible and FT-IR spectra and comparison with published data. The compounds were active against Gram-positive bacteria. Compound E, identified as Rhodomycin B, was found to be the most potent compound with an MIC of 2 ?g/ml against Bacillus subtilis. Compounds A and F identified as ?2-Rhodomycin II and Obelmycin respectively, and Compound E exhibited an IC50 of 8.8 ?g/ml against HeLa cell line but no cytotoxicity was found against L929.

Project description:Fungi are potential biocontrol agents and rich sources of secondary metabolites with demonstrated biological activities. This study aimed to isolate and identify fungi from surface-sterilized honeybees (Apis mellifera), as well as to evaluate their biological activities. One fungal isolate was obtained and identified morphologically and genetically as Mucor bainieri MK-Bee-2. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis of fungus crude extract, showed the existence of six major metabolites representing 92.48% of the total peak area. The crude extract of Mucor bainieri MK-Bee-2 was tested for antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antitumor activities. It demonstrated wide antimicrobial activities against human pathogenic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains, as well as Candida albicans, with MIC values ranged from 62.5 to 250 µg/ml. The results revealed that the extract exhibited considerable antioxidant activities indicated by strong inhibition of both DPPH and ABTS free radicals. Additionally, the extract exhibited greater potential anticancer activity against both adenocarcinomic human non-small cell lung cancer cells (A549) [IC50 = 6.45 μg/ml], and immortal cell line hepatoma G2 (HepG2) human liver cancer cells [IC50 = 27.48 μg/ml] and higher selectivity in cancer cells than normal cell lines. Furthermore, the extract showed less cytotoxic activity against normal cells with higher IC50 values of 106.99 and 132.57 μg/ml against human lung fibroblast Wistar-38 (Wi-38) and oral epithelial cells (OEC), respectively. Taken together, the Mucor bainieri MK-Bee-2 extract comprises bioactive compounds as promising potential therapeutic candidates for the treatment of lung cancer. Strikingly, the extract sensitizes the lung cancer cells A549 to the ionizing radiation through the pro-apoptotic pathway as indicated by the annexin V flow cytometry analysis which showed that the extract reduced the apoptosis of lung cancer cells.

Project description:Carotenoids, as phytonutrient pigments, are signified by their unique beneficial features that serve human health and the surrounding ecosystem. Haloalkaliphiles from soda lakes produce different natural bioactive molecules; however, their ability to produce carotenoids has been limited. Therefore, this study focused on the screening and isolation of carotenoid-producing haloalkaliphilic microbes. Out of 10 isolates, a powerful carotigenic bacterium was isolated, characterized phenotypically and identified on the molecular level as Virgibacillus halodenitrificans. By employing statistical approaches like Plackett-Burman design and central composite design, the influence of significant nutritional variables on carotenoids production was screened and optimized. Predictive modeling manifested that carotenoid yield was 36.42 mg/mL, a 2.12-fold enhancement compared to the basal conditions through inoculating 1.8% of bacterial biomass on optimized medium containing yeast extract (2 g/mL), peptone (10 g/mL) and NaCl (233.6 g/mL). The carotenoids content was confirmed by UV-Vis spectrum which detected a characteristic unique peak with left and right shoulders at 461 nm, 490 and 522 nm. However, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy showed the presence of several functional groups. Meanwhile, LC-MS confirmed that the examined carotenoids were composed of β-carotene, lutein and β-Apo-8'-carotenal mixture. As a bioactive agent, the carotenoids of V. halodenitrificans DASH showed characteristic antagonistic potency against a wide spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. Interestingly, a potent antifungal capacity was observed against Candida albicans, reflecting promising mycocidal efficacy against COVID-19 white fungal post-infections. Furthermore, carotenoids (20 μg/mL) inhibited the biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa and S. aureus by 54.01 ± 3.97% and 80.082 ± 0.895%, respectively. Our results proposed that haloalkaliphiles of Wadi El-Natrun lakes are promising sources of carotenoids that exhibited efficiency as safe, biocompatible and natural bioactive agents for environmental, medical and industrial applications.
