Isolation, characterization, antimicrobial and other bioactivity profiles of three Streptomyces strains isolated from Lake Gerio, Yola, Adamawa State, Nigeria

Abstract

Streptomyces sp. SUI (MT584797), Streptomyces sp. SW72IV (MT584818) and Streptomyces sp. SW72VII (MT584816) were isolated and identified. Ultraviolet–visible spectra absorption ranged between 241 and 251 nm wavelengths showing the polyene or chromone and unsaturation nature of the natural compounds. Infrared (IR) spectra indicated functional groups such as hydroxyl, aliphatic bromo, carbonyls, esters, carboxylic acids and silicon oxy compounds in the compounds produced by the three strains. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrum (GC–MS) identified elaidic acid isopropyl ester (32.11%), Octadec-9-enoic acid (17.44%) and 2, 3-dihydroxyl elaidate (10%) to be mostly produced by Streptomyces sp. SUI, Streptomyces sp. SW72IV and Streptomyces sp. SW72VII respectively. The three strains exhibited antimicrobial activity against Bacillus sp. Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9077, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 700699, Candida albicans and Aspergilus flavus.
