Two new caprolactones, (R)-10-methyl-6-undecanolide (1) and (6R,10S)-10-methyl-6-dodecanolide (2), were identified in the lipid extract of a marine streptomycete (isolate B6007). Their structures were proposed on the basis of GC-MS experiments and proved by synthesis. The absolute configuration of the compounds was established by comparison of the natural and synthetic stereoisomers using chiral gas chromatography. These caprolactones show a moderate phytotoxicity and a promising activity against cancer cells with concomitant low general cytotoxicity.

Terrestrial actinomycetes in the genus have long been recognized as prolific producers of small-molecule natural products, including many clinically important antibiotics and cytotoxic agents. Although can also be isolated from marine environments, their potential for natural product biosynthesis remains underexplored. The MAR4 clade of largely marine-derived has been a rich source of novel halogenated natural products of diverse structural classes.

Sixty-eight morphologically distinct isolates of marine actinomycetes were derived from seashore, mangrove, and saltpan ecosystems located between the Palk Strait and Gulf of Mannar region, Bay of Bengal, Tamilnadu. Twenty-five (36.8%) isolates exhibited anti-mycotic activity against Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans in preliminary screening, and 4 isolates with prominent activity were identified and designated at the genus level as Streptomyces sp.

The marine-derived sp. FIMYZ-003 strain was found to produce novel siderophores with yields negatively correlated with the iron concentration in the medium. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based metabolomics coupled with metallophore assays identified two novel α-hydroxycarboxylate-type siderophores, fradiamines C and D ( and ), together with two related known siderophores, fradiamines A and B ( and ).

A polyphasic approach was used to determine the taxonomic position of a marine actinomycete, designated isolate CWH03, which we previously reported to produce new linear azole-containing peptides spongiicolazolicins A and B. Strain CWH03 is mesophilic, neutrophilic, and halotolerant streptomycete that forms spiral spore chains on aerial mycelium. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that CWH03 was most closely related to Streptomyces tirandamycinicus HNM0039 (99.

Since the possibility to biotechnologically produce melanin by Streptomycetes using plant biomass has been so far poorly investigated, Posidonia oceanica egagropili, a marine waste accumulating along the Mediterranean Sea coasts, was explored as a renewable source to enhance extracellular melanin production by Streptomyces roseochromogenes ATCC 13400. Therefore, different amounts of egagropili powder were added to a culture medium containing glucose, malt extract, and yeast extract, and their effect on the melanin biosynthesis was evaluated. A 2.
