Abstract
Endophytic actinomycetes are a rich source of novel antimicrobial compounds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the production of antimicrobial compound by endophytic Streptomyces sp. Av-R5 associated with root of Aloe vera against multidrug-resistant human pathogens. The 16S rRNA sequence of the isolate Av-R5 has been identified as Streptomyces parvulus NBRC 13193T (AB184326) and the sequence was submitted to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank database (accession number KY771080). Streptomyces parvulus Av-R5 grown under submerged fermentation condition optimized by central composite design (glucose 11.16g/L, soybean meal 10.25g/L, sodium chloride 11.18g/L, calcium carbonate 1.32g/L at pH7.19 at 31.42°C with 6.04% seed inoculum for 10days of incubation) exhibited the highest activity against multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus JNMC-3, Staphylococcus epidermidis JNMC-4, Klebsiella pneumoniae MTCC-3384, Klebsiella pneumoniae JNMC-6, Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC-741, Proteus vulgaris JNMC-7, Candida albicans MTCC-183, and Aspergillus niger MTCC-872. The structures of the active compounds were elucidated by UV-Vis spectroscopy, 1H and 13C NMR, FT-IR, and ESIMS. Actinomycin D and actinomycin X0β were detected in crude extracts and major components were eluted by HPLC at 10.96 and 6.81min, respectively. In this case, a high yield of actinomycin D and actinomycin X0β (400mg/L) was achieved with Streptomyces parvulus Av-R5, fermented in glucose soybean meal broth media, which can be used in industrial fermentation process to obtain high yields.
