Abstract

Actinobacteria, which share the characteristics of both bacteria and fungi, are widely distributed in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, mainly in soil, where they play an essential role in recycling refractory biomaterials by decomposing complex mixtures of polymers in dead plants and animals and fungal materials. They are considered as the biotechnologically valuable bacteria that are exploited for its secondary metabolite production. Approximately, 10,000 bioactive metabolites are produced by Actinobacteria, which is 45% of all bioactive microbial metabolites discovered. Especially Streptomyces species produce industrially important microorganisms as they are a rich source of several useful bioactive natural products with potential applications. Though it has various applications, some Actinobacteria have its own negative effect against plants, animals, and humans. On this context, this chapter summarizes the general characteristics of Actinobacteria, its habitat, systematic classification, various biotechnological applications, and negative impact on plants and animals.

Progress In Microbes & Molecular Biology

This article emphasizes the various contributions of actinobacteria to the well-being of human life on our planet. Agrarian virtues begin with the substitution of chemical fertilizers with bio-fertilizing microorganisms which have a versatile potential for the benefit of soil and plants by playing complementary and interconnected roles. Thus, these microorganisms improve soil health through bioremediation phenomena and the elimination of several non-beneficial microorganisms. In agriculture, these microorganisms can be added to compost as inoculants to speed up the composting process and provide an additional source of beneficial microorganisms for the compost-treated soil. Streptomyces and other actinobacteria can also be used as biotechnological sources of herbicides and insecticides. In the medical and therapeutic sectors, this paper emphasizes the potential of actinobacteria, in particular Streptomyces species, in the production of antibiotics, antioxidant, and anticancer agents...

Antibiotic potential of actinomycetes from different environments against human pathogens and microorganisms of industrial importance: a review
amita gaurav dimri

2020

Actinomycetes are Gram-positive, aerobic and thread like bacteria with high DNA G+C contents. They are free-living, saprophytic, and abundant in soil, water, and colonizing nodulating plants. Actinomycetes assume a significant job in reusing squanders in the earth and they are additionally the makers of thousands of metabolic items, which display organic action. Due to the outstanding history of actinomycetes in the production of bioactive molecules for human interest, a large number of efforts have been made on the isolation, characterization and identification from terrestrial sources in the past half-decade. Secondary metabolites obtained from various potential strains of actinomycetes are very effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Many researchers both nationally and internationally isolated this potential group of microorganisms from soil, water, sediment etc. and checked their potential antimicrobial activity. In the present review, antibiotic potential o...

Wen-Jun Li

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2011

Endophytic actinobacteria, which exist in the inner tissues of living plants, have attracted increasing attention among taxonomists, ecologists, agronomists, chemists and evolutionary biologists. Numerous studies have indicated that these prolific actinobacteria appear to have a capacity to produce an impressive array of secondary metabolites exhibiting a wide variety of biological activity, such as antibiotics, antitumor and anti-infection agents, plant growth promoters and enzymes, and may contribute to their host plants by promoting growth and enhancing their ability of withstanding the environmental stresses. These microorganisms may represent an underexplored reservoir of novel species of potential interest in the discovery of novel lead compounds and for exploitation in pharmaceutical, agriculture and industry. This review focuses on new findings in the isolation methods, bio-and chemical diversity of endophytic actinobacteria and reveals the potential biotechnological application. The facing problems and strategies for biodiversity research and bioactive natural products producing are also discussed.

Actinobacteria: From Biodiversity to Biotechnology
Ashok Yadav

Springer , 2022

This book summarizes the basics of actinobacteria, from microbiology to synthetic biology. It focuses on diversity, bioinformatics apparatuses, cloning, reverse engineering, FDA supported medications, and marine actinobacteria. It also covers the latest trends in drug discovery from actinobacteria, and introduces several recently developed bioinformatics and synthetic biology tools to explore new antibiotics from actinobacteria.Many natural products such as polyketides, isoprenoids, phenazines, peptides, indolocarbarbazoles, sterols, and others have been isolated and characterized from actinobacteria. Some products are synthesized by the non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs), polyketide synthases (PKSs), or other functional genes. Although genome sequencing has uncovered the differing qualities of these chemicals, recognizing new items and their biosynthetic pathways is still under examination. Cryptic metabolic pathways have been explored using molecular techniques or culture-dependent approaches. In recent years, researchers' primary interest is to identify the specific conditions or agents that wake the cryptic antibiotics. Several bioinformatics and synthetic biology tools were developed to explore new antibiotics from actinobacteria. The book delivers useful information on actinomyces to researchers, novices in genome designing, specialists, clinicians, policymakers, and professionals.

The Potential Use of Actinomycetes as Microbial Inoculants and Biopesticides in Agriculture
Paulo Teixeira Lacava

Frontiers in Soil Science

The use of fertilizers and chemical pesticides promotes significant improvements in crop development, but some problems and risks associated with them limit their application. An alternative is using biological inputs based on microorganisms, increasing production while combining efficiency and sustainability. Actinomycetes are a group of bacteria belonging to the phylum Actinobacteria, recently re-named Actinobacteriota. They represent important microbial communities in the soils with increasing agricultural applications, especially in the biological control of insect-pest and plant disease and in plant growth promotion. Studies report their promising use as microbiological inoculants by exploring mechanisms to improve plant development, such as biological nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, production of phytohormones, and other biocompounds. In addition, many species produce metabolic pathways that generate high-value antibiotics, extracellular enzymes and secondary meta...

House of industrially important bioactive metabolites: A review on actinobacteria
Saba Siddiqui

IJBT Vol.18(4) [October 2019], 2019

The actinomycetes are Gram-positive bacteria present in natural habitats, most profoundly in soil, freshwater, sea water and composts. Actinomycetes have high GC (guanine-cytosine) content and characterized by a complex life cycle. The morphology of actinomycetes looks like fungi and the reproduction takes place either by hyphae fragmentation or by spore production in the mycelium. Actinomycetes serves as a large pool for secondary metabolites production with potent biological activities and therapeutic properties like antifungal, antibiotics, enzymatic, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), in xenobiotics and bioremediation. These bioactive metabolites production can be enhanced using high-throughput fermentation and by combinatorial biosynthesis during optimization. Present research should be focused on the potential of less explored actinomycetes from extreme environments that can be utilized as sustainable herald for green biotechnology. In this review, habitat, life cycle and production optimization of actinomycetes in selective media are explained but article is emphasized on biotechnological potential of actinomycetes that are relevant for industries, agriculture and allied sectors.

Application of Actinobacteria in Agriculture, Nanotechnology, and Bioremediation
Dr. Shalini Swami

IntechOpen eBooks, 2022

"Actinobacteria" are of significant economic value to mankind since agriculture and forestry depend on their soil system contribution. The organic stuff of deceased creatures is broken down into soil, and plants are able to take the molecule up again. Actinobacteria can be used for sustainable agriculture as biofertilizers for the improvement of plant growth or soil health by promoting different plant growth attributes, such as phosphorus and potassium solubilization, production of ironchelating compounds, phytohormones, and biological nitrogen attachment even under the circumstances of natural and abiotic stress. Nanotechnology has received considerable interest in recent years due to its predicted impacts on several key fields such as health, energy, electronics, and the space industries. Actinobacterial biosynthesis of nanoparticles is a dependable, environmentally benign, and significant element toward green chemistry, which links together microbial biotechnology and nanobiology. Actinobacterial-produced antibiotics are common in nearly all of the medical treatments, and they are also recognized to aid in the biosynthesis of excellent surface and size properties of nanoparticles. Bioremediation using microorganisms is relatively safe and more efficient. Actinobacteria use carbon toxins to synthesize economically viable antibiotics, enzymes, and proteins as well. These bacteria are the leading microbial phyla that are beneficial for deterioration and transformation of organic and metal substrates.

Taxonomy, Physiology, and Natural Products of Actinobacteria
Christophe Clément

Microbiology and molecular biology reviews : MMBR, 2016

Actinobacteria are Gram-positive bacteria with high G+C DNA content that constitute one of the largest bacterial phyla, and they are ubiquitously distributed in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Many Actinobacteria have a mycelial lifestyle and undergo complex morphological differentiation. They also have an extensive secondary metabolism and produce about two-thirds of all naturally derived antibiotics in current clinical use, as well as many anticancer, anthelmintic, and antifungal compounds. Consequently, these bacteria are of major importance for biotechnology, medicine, and agriculture. Actinobacteria play diverse roles in their associations with various higher organisms, since their members have adopted different lifestyles, and the phylum includes pathogens (notably, species of Corynebacterium, Mycobacterium, Nocardia, Propionibacterium, and Tropheryma), soil inhabitants (e.g., Micromonospora and Streptomyces species), plant commensals (e.g., Frankia spp.), and gastroi...

Microbes as bioinoculants and biopesticides are an alternative to chemical fertilizers to reduce environmental pollutions. Actinobacteria can be utilized as biofertilizers for sustainable agriculture as they can enhance plant growth and soil health though different plant growth-promoting attributes such as solubilization of phosphorus, potassium, and zinc; production of Fe-chelating compounds phytohormones hormones such indole acetic acids, cytokinin, and gibberellins; as well as by biological nitrogen fixation. The Actinobacteria also plays an important role in mitigation of different abiotic stress conditions in plants. The members of phylum Actinobacteria such as Actinomyces,

    Antibacterial Potential of Secondary Metabolites from Indonesian Marine Bacterial Symbionts
    Ruqiah Panjaitan

    International Journal of Microbiology

    Indonesian marine environments are known to house diverse organisms. However, the potential for bacteria from these environments as a source of antibacterial agents has not been widely studied. This study aims to explore the antibacterial potential of secondary metabolites produced by bacterial symbionts from sponges and corals collected in the Indonesian waters. Extracts of 12 bacterial isolates from sponges or corals were prepared by cultivating the bacteria under a number of different media conditions and using agar well diffusion assays to test for antibacterial activity. In addition, the morphology, physiology, and biochemical characteristics and 16S rRNA sequence of each isolate were used to determine their taxonomic classification. All tested bacterial isolates were able to produce secondary metabolites with various levels of antibacterial activity depending on medium composition and culture conditions. Two of the bacteria (RS3 and RC4) showed strong antibacterial activities ...

    Metagenomics revealing molecular profiling of community structure and metabolic pathways in natural hot springs of the Sikkim Himalaya
    Nitish Sharma

    BMC Microbiology, 2020

    Background Himalaya is an ecologically pristine environment. The geo-tectonic activities have shaped various environmental niches with diverse microbial populations throughout the Himalayan biosphere region. Albeit, limited information is available in terms of molecular insights into the microbiome, including the uncultured microbes, of the Himalayan habitat. Hence, a vast majority of genomic resources are still under-explored from this region. Metagenome analysis has simplified the extensive in-depth exploration of diverse habitats. In the present study, the culture-independent whole metagenome sequencing methodology was employed for microbial diversity exploration and identification of genes involved in various metabolic pathways in two geothermal springs located at different altitudes in the Sikkim Himalaya. Results The two hot springs, Polok and Reshi, have distinct abiotic conditions. The average temperature of Polok and Reshi was recorded to be 62 °C and 43 °C, respectively. B...

    Characterization of the Soil Prokaryotic Community With Respect to Time and Fertilization With Animal Waste–Based Digestate in a Humid Continental Climate
    Skaidre Suproniene

    Frontiers in Environmental Science

    There is a renewed global awareness to improve soil health through the intensification and management of organic inputs such as the application of animal waste–based digestate and other types of organic fertilizers to the soil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of different types of animal waste–based digestate application on soil prokaryotic diversity and composition in an agricultural cropping system over a period of 3 years, cultivated with three different annual cereal crops (spring wheat, triticale, and barley). Treatments were laid out in a randomized design with five conditions (three replicates per condition): fertilizer treatments included three different types of digestate (pig manure, chicken manure, and cow manure digestates), synthetic mineral nitrogen, and unfertilized control. Prokaryotic soil communities were characterized by Illumina MiSeq sequencing. The three most abundant phyla identified were Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria, and Proteobacte...

    Structural and Functional Impacts of Microbiota on Pyropia yezoensis and Surrounding Seawater in Cultivation Farms along Coastal Areas of the Yellow Sea
    Anam khurshid

    Microorganisms, 2021

    Pyropia yezoensis is the most important commercial edible red algae in China, carrying a variety of resident microbes at its surface. To understand microbiome diversity, community structure, interactions and functions with hosts in this regard, thalli and seawater sampleswere collected from Yantai and Rizhao cultivation farms in the Yellow Sea. The thalli and seawater samples (n = 12) were collected and studied using an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform and 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing, along with the consideration of environmental factors. Bacterial communities in association with P. yezoensis and surrounding seawater were predominated by Cyanobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Bacteroidetes. The variability of bacterial communities related to P. yezoensis and seawater were predominantly shaped by nitrate (NO3), ammonium (NH4), and temperature. Cluster analysis revealed a close relationship between thalli (RTH and YTH) and seawater (RSW and YSW) in terms of the residing bacteri...

    The Interaction between the Gut Microbiota and Chronic Diseases
    Temitope Olubowale

    Gestational Diabetes Mellitus - New Developments [Working Title], 2021

    The world is experiencing an increase in chronic diseases like diabetes, inflammatory bowel diseases, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and diabetes preceding disease like gestational diabetes. Most of these diseases can be prevented and mitigated if individuals pay attention to the causative factors. One of such factors is the type of microorganisms in an individual’s gut. Even though there are innate beneficial microorganisms in the human gut, pathogenic microorganisms can invade the gut, changing the inborn population of the gut microbiota. The changes in the gut microbiota population have been linked to several diseases. This chapter, therefore, describes gut microbiota and their interaction with specific diseases. Also discussed in this chapter are the changes to gut microbiota composition that pose a risk to the host. There is substantial evidence that diseases are initiated or worsened with a change in the gut microbiota composition. Therefore, the gut microbiota play...
