Two anthraquinone compounds from a marine actinomycete isolate M097 isolated from Jiaozhou Bay

Two anthraquinone compounds were isolated from the culture broth of a marine actinomycete isolate M097. The structures were elucidated as Aloesaponarin II and 1,6-dihydroxy-8-hydroxymethyl-anthraquinone by detailed interpretation of their spectra. It is the first time that the latter has ever been reported as a secondary metabolite from a wild-type strain. The results showed that the actinomycete isolate M097 could be a promising material for studying the biosynthetic pathway of polyketides and the production of novel recombinant polyketides.

Jiangella gansuensis gen. nov., sp nov., a novel actinomycete from a desert soil in north-west China

A novel actinomycete strain, designated YIM 002(T), was isolated from a desert soil sample in Gansu Province, north-west China. This actinomycete isolate formed well-differentiated aerial and substrate mycelia. In the early stages of growth, the substrate mycelia fragmented into short or elongated rods. Chemotaxonomically, it contained LL-2,6-diaminopimelic acid in the cell wall. The cell-wall sugars contained ribose and glucose. Phospholipids present were phosphatidylinositol mannosides, phosphatidylinositol and diphosphatidylglycerol. MK-9(H-4) was the predominant menaquinone. The major fatty acids were anteiso C-15:0 (35.92%), anteiso C-17:0 (15.84%), iso C-15:0 (10.40%), iso C-16:0 (7.07%) and C(17:10)w8c (9.37%). The G+C content of the DNA was 70 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis and signature nucleotide data based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain YIM 002(T) is distinct from all recognized genera of the family Nocardioidaceae in the suborder Propionibacterineae. On the basis of the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, it is proposed that isolate YIM 002(T) be classified as a novel species in a new genus, Jiangella gansuensis gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is YIM 002(T) (= DSM 44835(T) = CCTCC AA 204001(T) = KCTC 19044(T)).

Proposal of Sinomonas flava gen. nov., sp nov., and description of Sinomonas atrocyanea comb. nov to accommodate Arthrobacter atrocyaneus

A novel actinomycete strain, designated CW 108(T), was isolated from a forest soil in Anhui Province, China. The cells were strictly aerobic, non-motile, bent rods. The strain grew optimally at 30-37 degrees C and pH 6.0-8.0. Chemotaxonomically, the pepti

Rhodococcus qingshengii sp nov., a carbendazim-degrading bacterium

A Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile, mesophilic strain, djl-6(T), able to degrade carbendazim, was isolated from a carbendazim-contaminated soil sample from Jiangsu province, China. The taxonomic position of this isolate was analysed by using a polyphasic approach. Chemotaxonomic analysis including peptidoglycan type, diagnostic sugar composition, fatty acid profile, menaquinones, polar lipids and mycolic acids showed that the characteristics of strain djl-6(T) were in good agreement with those of the genus Rhodococcus. DNA-DNA hybridization showed that it had low genomic relatedness with Rhodococcus baikonurensis DSM 44587(T) (31.8%), Rhodococcus erythropolis DSM 43066(T) (23.8%) and Rhodococcus globerulus DSM 43954(T) (117.7%), the three type strains to which strain djl-6(T) was most closely related based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis (99.78, 99.25 and 98.91% similarity, respectively). Based on the phenotypic properties and DNA-DNA hybridization data, strain djl-6(T) (=CGMCC 1.6580(T) =KCTC 19205(T)) is proposed as the type strain of a novel Rhodococcus species, Rhodococcus qingshengii sp. nov.

一株放线菌发酵产物抗肿瘤活性的研究

本学位论文主要研究一株放线菌发酵产物的抗肿瘤活性。先对该株放线菌进行活化培养，然后进行大批量发酵，发酵液经过冷冻离心，对离心得到的沉淀和上清液用不同极性的有机溶剂进行萃取，得到六个浸膏样品。对六个样品进行初步抗肿瘤活性检测。 然后对活性浸膏进行分离纯化和活性跟踪。本论文主要进行了如下的工作： 1、对菌种进行活化培养，利用该菌株在280C，200r.min-1条件下进行发酵实验，发酵时间为72h,发酵总量为15L。发酵液经过离心得到上清液和沉淀两部分。 2、分别用石油醚、乙酸乙酯、正丁醇萃取沉淀和上清液，得到编号为1—6的六个浸膏样品，对六个浸膏样品进行初步的细胞毒性和抗HepG2肿瘤活性实验，得出结论为5号样品活性最高。在没有分离纯化的情况下GI50达到0.76µg/mL。 3、对5号样品进行TLC实验，找出能够较好分离5号样品中各组分的溶剂组合，最后得出在氯仿：甲醇=8：1时分离效果较好。然后利用氯仿：甲醇=8：1的溶剂组合作为洗脱剂对5号样品进行过硅胶柱分离纯化并进行活性跟踪分离。 4、对分离纯化后得到的样品进行活性跟踪和结构分析。分离后得到样品A，在其浓度为10µg/ml时，抗肿瘤实验细胞的生长率为73.5%。在浓度为1.0mg/ml时，抗单纯疱疹病毒率（HSVⅡ）为74.5%。结构分析得知其分子式最可能为C41H43N8O4. This dissertation studied about the anti-tumor activity of an actinomycete fermentation product. First, we cultured the actinomycete. Second, we fermented it in large quantities, and then centrifuged the fermentation fluid; the next step is that we extract sedimentation and supernatant in different polar organic solvents, in turn to obtained six samples, which were detected about anti-tumor activity. Last, we purified active sample and tracked activity of it. We carried out the following research work: 1. Activation, culture and screening of the actinomyces was carried on. We used the screening strain to carry on the fermentation when the conditions are 280C，200r.min-1,the fermentation time is 72h. Fermentation fluid volume is 15L.And we obtained sedimentation and supernatant after fermentation fluid was centrifuged. 2. We used Petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, n-butanol separately to extract sedimentation and supernatant, and obtained six samples that were numbered 1-6. From the preliminary cell toxicity and the anti-tumor（HepG2） bioactivity experiment, we found that No.5 sample has the highest activity in the samples; the GI50 was 0.76µg/ml which has not been purified. 3. We Carried on TLC experiment on the No.5 sample, found the solvent composition that can separate each component of the No.5 sample. At last, we found that when the proportions are tri-chloromethane: methyl alcohol = 8:1, the Separation result was the best, and then we used the Solvent composition which proportion are tri-chloromethane: methyl alcohol = 8:1 as eluant to Purify No.5 sample by silica gel column. 4. We tracked the activity of pure sample obtained from Purification and analyzed structure of these substances. We got a compound A after separation, and the cell growth rate was 73.5% when its concentration was 10µg/ml. The anti-virus（HSVⅡ） rate was 74.5% when its concentration was 1.0mg/ml. We analyzed the Structure of A, and informed its molecular formula that was the most likely for C41H43N8O4.
