Taxonomic and Characterization Methods of Streptomyces: A Review

Self Cite

Vibrio sp. has been a major pathogen that resulted in difficult to treat infections, and greatly impacting the aquaculture industry. Thus, more effective approaches are needed to overcome this problem. Bacteria of the genus Streptomyces is a group of prolific producers for various bioactive compounds. Streptomyces species with antibacterial activity against Vibrio sp. have been reported from numerous studies, indicating that Streptomyces could be a good candidate for treatment of Vibrio infections. This review aims to provide an overview on the distribution of the Streptomyces with anti-Vibrio activity from diverse geographical locations. Furthermore, this review also highlighted that Streptomyces sp. can be a great source for anti-Vibrio agents to control vibriosis, such as in the aquaculture settings.

“…The bacteria genus of Streptomyces is characterized as a gram-positive, filamentous, soil-dwelling and saprophytic in nature [11,12] . The soil consists of a diverse microbial community which includes bacteria such as Streptomyces [13] and competition for nutrients can be extremely intense [14] .…”

“…The phylum Actinobacteria is among the earliest lineages within the prokaryotes which appears to exist since 2.7 billion years ago [1] . Being one of the major lineages in the domain Bacteria, this phylum consists of many genera which contributed to its vast diversity with reference to the morphological and physiological variations as well as metabolic abilities [2][3][4] . In the recent road map of phylum Actinobacteria revised by Ludwig et al (2012) [5] , this phylum currently comprises 6 classes, namely "Actinobacteria", "Nitriliruptoria", "Acidimicrobiia", "Coriobacteriia", "Thermoleophilia", and "Rubrobacteria".…”

In the class Actinobacteria, the renowned genus Streptomyces comprised of a group of uniquely complex bacteria that capable of synthesizing a great variety of bioactive metabolites. Streptomycetes are noted to possess several special qualities such as multicellular life cycle and large linearized chromosomes. The significant contribution of Streptomyces in microbial drug discovery as witnessed through the discovery of many important antibiotic drugs has undeniably encourage the exploration of these bacteria from different environments, especially the mangrove environments. This review emphasizes on the genus Streptomyces and reports on the diversity of actinobacterial population from mangroves at different regions of the world as well as discovery of mangrove-derived novel Streptomyces species. Overall, the research on diversity of Actinobacteria in the mangrove environments remains limited. A total of 19 novel Streptomyces spp. isolated from mangroves between the year 2009 - early 2019, notably from China, India, Malaysia, and Thailand. Hence, it will be worthwhile to encourage the study of these bacteria from mangroves of different locations.
