Abstract

A newly isolated strain Streptomyces sp. BG5 was investigated for the production of bioactive compounds. The strain exhibited broad-spectrum activity against an array of nine test organisms including gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, and fungal and microalgal pathogens, along with a moderate cytotoxic response (28.9% mortality) in a microwell cytotoxicity assay against the brine shrimp Artimia salina. The morphological, physiological, and biochemical characterization of the Streptomyces sp. BG5 strongly suggested it to be a member of the genus Streptomyces. The nucleotide sequence of 16S rRNA gene (1433 pb) of the Streptomyces sp. BG5 (Gene bank accession number EU301836) exhibited high similarity (98%) with Streptomyces matensis. The large-scale fermentation of Streptomyces sp. BG5 and subsequent extraction, isolation, and purification of the crude extract afforded three pure compounds. The structures of these compounds were identified as ochromycinone (1a), emycin D (2), and 1-acetyl-β-carbolin (3), based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and by comparison with reference data from the literature.
