Endophytic Streptomyces sp. MSARE05 isolated from roots of Peanut plant produces a novel antimicrobial compound.

This study aimed to isolate, endophytic Streptomyces sp. MSARE05 isolated from root of a peanut (Arachis hypogaea) inhibits the growth of other bacteria. The research focused on characterizing the strain and the antimicrobial compound. The surface-sterilized peanut roots were used to isolate the endophytic bacterium Streptomyces sp. MSARE05. A small-scale fermentation was done to get the antimicrobial compound SM05 produced in highest amount in ISP-2 medium (pH 7) for 7 days at 30°C in shaking (180 rpm) condition. Extraction, purification, and chemical analysis of the antibacterial component revealed a novel class of antibiotics with a 485.54 Dalton molecular weight. The MIC was 0.4-0.8 µg ml-1 against the tested pathogens. It also inhibits multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens and Mycobacterium with 0.8-3.2 µg ml-1 MIC. SM05 was found to disrupt cell membrane of target pathogen as evident by significant leakage of intracellular proteins and nucleic acids. It showed synergistic activity with ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, and kanamycin. The new-class antimicrobial SM05 consisting naphthalene core moiety was effective against drug-resistant pathogens but non-cytotoxic to human cells. This study underscores the significance of endophytic Streptomyces as a source of innovative antibiotics, contributing to the ongoing efforts to combat antibiotic resistance. © The Author(s) 2024.
