RESUMEN
A novel marine actinomycete, designated strain MCN248T, was isolated from the coastal sediment in Songkhla Province, Thailand. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences, the new isolate was closely related to Nonomuraea harbinensis DSM45887T (99.2%) and Nonomuraea ferruginea DSM43553T (98.6%). Phylogenetic analyzes based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain MCN248T was clustered with Nonomuraea harbinensis DSM45887T and Nonomuraea ferruginea DSM43553T. However, the digital DNA-DNA hybridization analyzes presented a low relatedness of 40.2% between strain MCN248T and the above closely related strains. This strain contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. The acyl type of the peptidoglycan was acetyl, and mycolic acids were absent. The major menaquinones were MK-9(H2) and MK-9(H4). The whole cell sugars consisted of madurose, ribose, mannose, and glucose. Diphosphatidylglycerol, hydroxyl-phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylglycerol were detected as the major phospholipids. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C16:0 (40.4%), 10-methyl-C17:0 (22.1%), and C17:1ω8c (10.9%). The DNA G + C content of the genomic DNA was 71.7%. With in silico analyzes, the antiSMASH platform uncovered a diverse 29 secondary metabolite biosynthesis arsenal, including non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and polyketide synthase (PKS) of strain MCN248T, with a high prevalence of gene cluster encoding pathways for the production of anticancer and cytotoxic compounds. Consistently, the crude extract could inhibit colorectal HCT-116 cancer cells at a final concentration of 50 µg/mL. Based on the polyphasic approach, strain MCN248 was designated as a novel species of the genus Nonomuraea, for which the name Nonomuraea corallina sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is MCN248T (=NBRC115966T = TBRC17110T).
RESUMEN
Actinomycetes inhabit both terrestrial and marine ecosystems and are highly proficient in producing a wide range of natural products with diverse biological functions, including antitumor, immunosuppressive, antimicrobial, and antiviral activities. In this review, we delve into the life cycle, ecology, taxonomy, and classification of actinomycetes, as well as their varied bioactive metabolites recently discovered between 2015 and 2023. Additionally, we explore promising strategies to unveil and investigate new bioactive metabolites, encompassing genome mining, activation of silent genes through signal molecules, and co-cultivation approaches. By presenting this comprehensive and up-to-date review, we hope to offer a potential solution to uncover novel bioactive compounds with essential activities.

A novel actinomycete, designated strain OK19-0408T, was isolated from soil collected on Iheya island, Okinawa prefecture, Japan. Using the polyphasic taxonomic approach, comparing 16S rRNA gene sequences, the new isolate was found to be most closely related to Amycolatopsis vancoresmycina JCM12675T (98.71â%). Phylogenetic analyses using 16S rRNA sequences indicated that strain OK19-0408T was clustered with Amycolatopsis australiensis JCM15587T. However, digital DNA-DNA hybridization analyses indicated a low relatedness, in the range of 33.9-34.7â%, between strain OK19-0408T and these closely related strains. Strain OK19-0408T contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and whole-cell sugars consisting of arabinose and galactose. The acyl type of the peptidoglycan was acetyl and mycolic acids were absent in strain OK19-0408T. The major menaquinone was MK-9(H4) and hydroxy-phosphatidylethanolamine was detected as the predominant phospholipid. The predominant cellular fatty acid was iso-C16â:â0. The DNA G+C content of the genomic DNA was 71.5âmol%. Based on the polyphasic approach, strain OK19-0408T represents a novel species of the genus Amycolatopsis, for which the name Amycolatopsis iheyensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is OK19-0408T (=NBRC115671T=TBRC16040T).
