Isolation and molecular characterization of novel Streptomyces sp. ACT2 from marine mangrove sediments with antidermatophytic potentials

摘要

The present work accomplished with the aim of examination of anti-dermatophytic efficiency ofStreptomycesisolates against dermatophytic fungi from mangrove estuary area of Tamil Nadu. Five hundred and six actinomycete isolates were retrieved from the sediment soil samples in Manakudi mangrove estuary, south west coast of Tamil Nadu, India. Among 506, 138 isolated were identified and categorized based on their structural similarity and cultural conditions. Selected actinomycete strains were screened for anti-dermatopytic fungal activity by cross streak and agar well diffusion methods. The cultural, biochemical and molecular features of the 10 antagonistic isolates were belongs toStreptomycesspecies (60%) and other non-Streptomyces(40%) Among,Streptomycessp. ACT2 strains exhibited significant activity against selected dermatophytes. The most promisingStreptomycessp. ACT2 (GQ478247) was identified and analyzed further of their bioactive compounds. The anti-dermatophytic compounds were identified as bahamaolides and polyenepolyol from the active fraction ADF4 by GC–MS analysis.
