Biodiversity and biological applications of marine actinomycetes-Abu-Qir Bay, Mediterranean Sea, Egypt.

Background: The ability of actinomycetes to produce bioactive secondary metabolites makes them one of the most important prokaryotes. Marine actinomycetes are one of the most important secondary metabolites producers used for pharmaceuticals and other different industries.

Results: In this study, the promising actinomycetes were isolated from Abu-Qir Bay.

Exploring the antimicrobial, antiviral, antioxidant, and antitumor potentials of marine Streptomyces tunisiensis W4MT573222 pigment isolated from Abu-Qir sediments, Egypt.

Due to the therapeutic importance of microbial pigments, these pigments are receiving the attention of researchers. In this present study 60 isolates were isolated from sediments of Abu-Qir coast of the Mediterranean sea, Alexandria, Egypt, out of which 12 were considered as pigmented actinomycetes. Streptomyces sp.

A First Report of Molecular Typing, Virulence Traits, and Phenotypic and Genotypic Resistance Patterns of Newly Emerging XDR and MDR in .

is associated with substantial economic losses in the fish industry and with food-borne illness in humans. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, antibiogram profiles, sequence analysis, virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes, and pathogenicity of recovered from . A total of 80 fish were randomly gathered from various private farms in Suez Province, Egypt.

Bioprocess development for biosurfactant production by Natrialba sp. M6 with effective direct virucidal and anti-replicative potential against HCV and HSV.

Halophilic archaea is considered an promising natural source of many important metabolites. This study focused on one of the surface-active biomolecules named biosurfactants produced by haloarchaeon Natrialba sp. M6.

Identification and distribution of antimicrobial- active marine bacteria along the heavily polluted coastal area of Alexandria, Egypt.

The main objective of the present study was to screen, identify and to study distribution of marine bacteria with antimicrobial activity in the heavily polluted coast of Alexandria, Egypt. The highest bacterial density positively correlated with pollution strength and localized in the central part of the coast in both water and sediments. Thirty four active bacterial isolates dominating the water and sediments of six highly polluted sites during winter and spring were identified.
