Mangrove actinomycetes

Mangrove endophytes have recently gained considerable attention due to their diversity and abundance of novel bioactive secondary metabolites. Despite the fact that Streptomyces species are producers of more than 75% of commercialized antibiotics, Streptomyces associated with the extremely widespread mangrove plant Avicennia marina remain poorly characterized. In this study, nine actinomycetes were isolated from A. marina growing in a mangrove forest, as yet unexplored, of Quang Ninh province, Vietnam.

The number and distribution of actinomycetes are very different in 10 species. In this study, 114 endophytic actinomycetes were isolated from 10 mangrove species in Giao Thuy, Nam Dinh: of which 44 strains were from their fruits, 40 from leaves, 21 from roots; 5 from trunks and 4 from flowers.

In this study we examined diversity and activities of some actinomycetes isolated from mangroves in Giao Thuy, Nam Dinh Province. The distribution of actinomycetes in soil is strongly affected by external factors. Extra-cellular enzyme producing ability of mangrove actinomycetes is very high, particularly the ability of producing cellulase degrading filter paper (122/128 strains), CMC (110/128 strains), protease (83/128 strains) and amylase (78/128 strains).

61 actinomycete strains were isolated by culture techniques in mangrove forests in Cat Ba, Hai Phong and Xuan Thuy, Nam Dinh. The 31 isolates (50.82%) showed the antibacterial activity with at least one of test microorganisms including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus cereus, in which two strains SCA N2.2 and GI H1.3 had strongest antibacterial activity. Two strains growed at optimal temperature at 37ºC. Strain SCA N2.2 could grow in the medium with 3% NaCl concentration while GI H1.3 strains growed in the medium without NaCl.
