ABSTRACT
The strain Streptomyces sp. Al-Dhabi-1 was isolated from soil sediments collected from Tharban hot spring in the southern west of Saudi Arabia using actinomycetes isolation agar and starch casein agar at 55 °C. Identification of the isolate was done according to morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics and 16S rRNA sequence similarity as well. 16S rRNA sequence and blast analyses confirmed that the isolate belonging to the genus Streptomyces. The sequence was submitted to GenBank with accession number (KF815080). Ethyl acetate extract of Streptomyces sp. Al-Dhabi-1 showed good antimicrobial activities against tested pathogenic microbes. Minimum inhibitory concentration results showed that the best values were observed against S. agalactiae (<0.039 mg/ml) and Klebsiella pneumonia (0.125 mg/ml). Minimum inhibitory concentration of Al-Dhabi-1 against fungi; Cryptococcus neoformans (0.078 mg/ml), C. albicans (0.156 mg/ml), A. niger (0.625 mg/ml), and T. mentagrophytes (0.156 mg/ml). GC-MS analysis was used for the chemical profile of ethyl acetate extract. Benzeneacetic acid (16.02 %) and acetic acid 2-phenylethyl ester (10.35 %) were the major compounds among 31 substances found the ethyl acetate extract. According to the results of antimicrobial activity against pathogenic microbes, it is clear that the actinomycetes from hot springs with extreme environments are promising source for antimicrobial compounds.
