Actinomycetes
Characterization and phylogenetic affiliation of Actinobacteria from tropical soils with potential uses for agro-industrial processes
Authors: J.C.M. Dornelas, J.E.F. Figueiredo, C.S. de Abreu, U.G.P. Lana, C.A. Oliveira and I.E. Marriel
Secondary metabolites produced by Actinobacteria of tropical soils represent a largely understudied source of novel molecules with relevant application in medicine, pharmaceutical and food industries, agriculture, and environmental bioremediation. The present study aimed to characterize sixty-nine Actinobacteria isolated from .. Read More»

Streptomyces ansochromogenes Tur-10 produces a substance with antifungal bioactivity
Authors: N.M. Vasconcelos, J.M. Fontes, M.R.C.R. Lins, G.R.B. Bernardo,J.M. Ara�ºjo and G.M.S. Lima
The increased incidence of fungal infections and the development of drug resistance have led to the search for microorganisms capable of producing bioactive metabolites with antifungal activity. Among these microorganisms, Streptomyces spp are distinguished mainly owing to their potential to secrete bioactive molecules. The aim of this study was to evalua.. Read More»

Identification of actinomycete communities in Antarctic soil from Barrientos Island using PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis
Authors: L. Learn-Han, C. Yoke-Kqueen, M.S. Shiran, C.M.W. Vui-Ling, A.M. Nurul-Syakima, R. Son and H.M. Andrade
The diversity of specific bacteria taxa, such as the actinomycetes, has not been reported from the Antarctic island of Barrientos. The diversity of actinomycetes was estimated with two different strategies that use PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. First, a PCR was applied, using a group-specific primer that allows ..
