Project description:An actinomycete was isolated from mangrove soil collected from Nellore region of Andhra Pradesh, India, and screened for its ability to produce bioactive compounds. The cultural, morphological, and biochemical characters and 16S rRNA sequencing suggest that the isolated strain is Nocardiopsis alba. The bioactive compounds produced by this strain were purified by column chromatography. The in vitro antioxidant capacity of the isolated compounds (fractions) was estimated and fraction F2 showed very near values to the standard ascorbic acid. The potential fraction obtained by column chromatography was subjected to HPLC for further purification, then this purified fraction F2 was examined by FTIR, NMR, and mass spectroscopy to elucidate its chemical structure. By spectral data, the structure of the isolated compound was predicted as "(Z)-1-((1-hydroxypenta-2,4-dien-1-yl)oxy)anthracene-9,10-dione."

Project description:In nature, bacteria can form biofilms, multi-layered structures that adhere microbial populations to solid surfaces by exopolysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids. In addition to causing foodborne infections, biofilms can be a major problem in aquaculture. Actinomycetes extracts have previously demonstrated antibiofilm activity against multiple foodborne and fish pathogens, and further characterization of these extracts is needed. In this study, we identified the chemical structures and antibiofilm properties of four extracts and determined the genetic similarity of the isolates to known Streptomyces isolates. We found that several extracts contained multiple antibiofilm compounds, and the antibiofilm activities of all extracts were most stable at pH 6. Furthermore, the antibiofilm inhibition and destruction activities of the isolates were stable at different temperatures. All of crude extracts demonstrated activity against biofilms formed by foodborne and fish pathogens on the surface of stainless-steel coupons as well as polystyrene that commonly used in industrial equipment. Using PCR 16S-rRNA gene and DNA sequencing analysis, the four Actinomycetes isolates were found to be 99% (1 AC), 97% (20 PM), 95% (16 PM), and 85% (18 PM) similar to Streptomyces. Biofilm structure were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy-Dispersive Spectrometry analysis. Coniine/(S)-2-propylpiperidine was the most active fraction of the crude extracts of the 1 AC, 20 PM, and 16 PM isolates, and piperidine, 2-(tetrahydro-2-furanyl) was most active in the 18 PM isolate.

Project description:A rare actinobacterium was isolated from Nizampatnam mangrove ecosystem of Andhra Pradesh, India, and was screened for its ability to produce bioactive compounds. The potential strain was identified as Saccharomonospora oceani VJDS-3 by polyphasic taxonomy. Purification of the biologically active compounds by column chromatography led to the isolation of three compounds, namely methoxy ethyl cinnamate (ethyl(E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)acrylate) (R1), 4-hydroxy methyl cinnamate (methyl(E)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acrylate) (R2) and 4-methylbenzoic acid (R3). The structure of the compounds was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis including FTIR, EIMS, 1HNMR and 13CNMR spectroscopies. The antimicrobial activity of the bioactive compounds produced by the strain was tested against a panel of bacteria and fungi, and expressed in terms of minimum inhibitory concentration. Compound (R1) exhibited higher antimicrobial potential (50 µg/ml) against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus megaterium and Candida albicans compared to R2 and R3. Antioxidant activity of compounds was determined by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities. The results revealed that compound R3 effectively scavenged DPPH (73.08 ± 1.29) and ABTS (99.74 ± 0.00) radicals at a concentration of 25 and 50 µg/ml, respectively. Antidiabetic and anti-obesity activities were evaluated by inhibitory potential of compounds against alpha-glucosidase, alpha-amylase and pancreatic lipase by spectrophotometric assays. Compound R1 showed effective inhibition against alpha-glucosidase (66.8 ± 1.2) at 20 µg/ml while moderate to weak activities were found against alpha-amylase and pancreatic lipase. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the isolation of supra said compounds from the genus Saccharomonospora.

Project description:The search for Keap1 inhibitors as potential Nrf2 activator is a way of increasing the antioxidant status of the human cellular environ. In this research, we used in silico methods to investigate Keap1-kelch inhibitory potential of Momordica charantia's bioactive compounds in order to predict their Nrf2 activating potential. ADMET profiling, physicochemical properties, molecular docking, molecular dynamics, and Molecular Mechanics-Poisson Boltzmann Surface Area (g_MMPBSA) free energy calculation studies were executed to drive home our aim. Out of all the bioactive compounds of Momordica charantia, catechin (CAT) and chlorogenic acid (CGA) were selected based on their ADMET profile, physicochemical properties, and molecular docking analysis. Molecular docking studies of CAT and CGA to Keap1 kelch domain showed that they have - 9.2 kJ/mol and - 9.1 kJ/mol binding energies respectively with CAT having four hydrogen bond interactions with Keap1 while CGA had three. Analysis after the 30 ns molecular dynamics simulation revealed that CAT and CGA were both stable, although with minimal conformational alterations at the kelch pocket of Keap1. Finally, MMPBSA calculation of the Gibbs free energy of each amino acid interaction with CAT and CGA revealed that CAT had a higher total binding energy than CGA. Therefore, the Keap1 inhibitory capacities and the molecular dynamic characters of CAT and CGA at the Kelch domain of Keap1 suggest a putative Nrf2 signaling activating prowess.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40203-021-00100-2.

Project description:α-Glucosidase (AGS) inhibitors have been regarded as an ideal target for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) since they can maintain an acceptable blood glucose level by delaying the digestion of carbohydrates and diminishing the absorption of monosaccharides. In the process of our endeavor in mining AGS inhibitors from natural sources, the culture broth of two mangrove-derived actinomycetes Streptomyces sp. WHUA03267 and Streptomyces sp. WHUA03072 exhibited an apparent inhibitory activity against AGS. A subsequent chemical investigation into the two extracts furnished 28 secondary metabolites that were identified by spectroscopic methods as two previously undescribed linear polyketides 1-2, four benzenoid ansamycins 3-6, fourteen cyclodipeptides 7-18, one prenylated indole derivative 19, two fusicoccane-type diterpenoids 20-21, two hydroxamate siderophore 22-23, and five others 24-28. Among all of the isolates, 11 and 24 were obtained from actinomycetes for the first time, while 20-21 had never been reported to occur in a marine-derived microorganism previously. In the in vitro AGS inhibitory assay, compounds 3, 8, 9, 11, 14, 16, and 17 exhibited potent to moderate activity with IC50 values ranging from 35.76 ± 0.40 to 164.5 ± 15.5 μM, as compared with acarbose (IC50 = 422.3 ± 8.4 μM). The AGS inhibitory activity of 3, 9, 14, 16, and 17 was reported for the first time. In particular, autolytimycin (3) represented the first ansamycin derivative reported to possess the AGS inhibitory activity. Kinetics analysis and molecular docking were performed to determine the inhibition types and binding modes of these inhibitors, respectively. In the MTT assay, 3, 8, 9, 11, 14, 16, and 17 exhibited no apparent cytotoxicity to the human normal hepatocyte (LO2) cells, suggesting satisfactory safety of these AGS inhibitors.

Project description:The diversity of actinomycetes associated with the marine sponge Coscinoderma mathewsi collected from Hurghada (Egypt) was studied. Twenty-three actinomycetes were separated and identified based on the 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis. Out of them, three isolates were classified as novel species of the genera Micromonospora, Nocardia, and Gordonia. Genome sequencing of actinomycete strains has revealed many silent biosynthetic gene clusters and has shown their exceptional capacity for the production of secondary metabolites, not observed under classical cultivation conditions. Therefore, the effect of mycolic-acid-containing bacteria or mycolic acid on the biosynthesis of cryptic natural products was investigated. Sponge-derived actinomycete Micromonospora sp. UA17 was co-cultured using liquid fermentation with two mycolic acid-containing actinomycetes (Gordonia sp. UA19 and Nocardia sp. UA 23), or supplemented with pure mycolic acid. LC-HRESIMS data were analyzed to compare natural production across all crude extracts. Micromonospora sp. UA17 was rich with isotetracenone, indolocarbazole, and anthracycline analogs. Some co-culture extracts showed metabolites such as a chlorocardicin, neocopiamycin A, and chicamycin B that were not found in the respective monocultures, suggesting a mycolic acid effect on the induction of cryptic natural product biosynthetic pathways. The antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic activities for the different cultures extracts were also tested.

Project description:The Glutamicibacter group of microbes is known for antibiotic and enzyme production. Antibiotics and enzymes produced by them are important in the control, protection, and treatment of chronic human diseases. In this study, the Glutamicibacter mysorens (G. mysorens) strain MW647910.1 was isolated from mangrove soil in the Mangalore region of India. After optimization of growth conditions for G. mysorens on starch casein agar media, the micromorphology of G. mysorens was found to be spirally coiled spore chain, each spore visualized as an elongated cylindrical hairy appearance with curved edges visualized through Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) analysis. The culture phenotype with filamentous mycelia, brown pigmentation, and ash-colored spore production was observed. The intracellular extract of G. mysorens characterized through GCMS analysis detected bioactive compounds reported for pharmacological applications. The majority of bioactive compounds identified in intracellular extract when compared to the NIST library revealed molecular weight ranging below 1kgmole-1. The Sephadex G-10 could result in 10.66 fold purification and eluted peak protein fraction showed significant anticancer activity on the prostate cancer cell line. Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis revealed Kinetin-9-ribose and Embinin with a molecular weight below 1 kDa. This study showed small molecular weight bioactive compounds produced from microbial origin possess dual roles, acting as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and anticancer peptides (ACPs). Hence, the bioactive compounds produced from microbial origin are a promising source of future therapeutics.

Project description:Background and aimActinomycetes are a group of Gram-positive bacteria with a fungus-like morphology. Their natural habitat encompasses terrestrial and water areas, including mangrove ecosystems. This study aimed to assess the PKS and NRPS genes as the producers of secondary metabolites and to determine the target bacterial species using molecular DNA tests.Materials and methodsIn this study, we isolated bacteria from sediment samples from mangrove forests located on Karimunjawa Islands and in Semarang city, purified bacteria, screened for antibacterial activity, extracted bacterial DNA, amplified the NRPS gene, detected and amplified the PKS-I and PKS-II genes, amplified and sequenced the 16S rRNA, processed molecular data, and simulated a map of secondary metabolite producing genes.ResultsSamples from the Karimunjawa Islands yielded 19 bacterial isolates, whereas samples from Semarang yielded 11 bacterial isolates after culture in different media. Further experiments identified three active isolates, which were termed PN.SB.6.2, S.SK.6.3, and S.SK.7.1, against pathogenic species of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes. Isolate PN.SB.6.2 was determined to possess three biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), whereas the remaining two isolates, S.SK.6.3 and S.SK.7.1, only possessed two BGCs, namely, NRPS and PKS II.ConclusionProducts were estimated to be in the NRPS, thiopeptide, RiPP-like, siderophore, betalactone, terpene, Type III PKS, CDPS, and lassopeptide groups. DNA identification of the isolates found three species of actinomycetes with antibacterial potential, namely, Virgibacillus salaries, Bacillus licheniformis, and Priestia flexa.

Project description:In this study, we characterized the bioactive properties of three important brown seaweed species, Sargassum thunbergii, Undaria pinnatifida, and Saccharina japonica, by subcritical water extraction (SWE), as these species are well known for their beneficial health effects. Their physiochemical properties, including potential antioxidant, antihypertensive, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, and the antibacterial activity of the hydroysates were also analyzed. The highest total phlorotannin, total sugar content, and reducing sugar content in the S. thunbergii hydrolysates were 38.82 ± 0.17 mg PGE/g, 116.66 ± 0.19 mg glucose/g dry sample, and 53.27 ± 1.57 mg glucose/g dry sample, respectively. The highest ABTS+ and DPPH antioxidant activities were obtained in the S. japonica hydrolysates (124.77 ± 2.47 and 46.35 ± 0.01 mg Trolox equivalent/g, respectively) and the highest FRAP activity was obtained in the S. thunbergii hydrolysates (34.47 ± 0.49 mg Trolox equivalent/g seaweed). In addition, the seaweed extracts showed antihypertensive (≤59.77 ± 0.14%) and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (≤68.05 ± 1.15%), as well as activity against foodborne pathogens. The present findings provide evidence of the biological activity of brown seaweed extracts for potential application in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic sectors.
