TLDR
In this paper , an attempt was made to isolate Actinomycetes from marine sediments in terms of their ability to produce several novel bioactive compounds, which can be used as an alternative to antibiotics for treating several fish pathogens.Abstract:
Marine habitats are especially complex, with a varied diversity of living organisms. Marine organisms, while living in such intense conditions, have developed great physiological and metabolic potential to survive. This has led them to produce several potent metabolites, which their terrestrial counterparts are unable to produce. Over the past few years, marine Actinomycetes have been considered one of the most abundant sources of diverse and novel metabolites. In this work, an attempt was made to isolate Actinomycetes from marine sediments in terms of their ability to produce several novel bioactive compounds. A total of 16 different Actinomycete colonies were obtained from marine sediment samples. Among the 16 Actinomycete isolates, 2 isolates demonstrated in vitro antibacterial activity against Aeromonas hydrophila and Vibrio parahemolyticus. However, among them, only one isolate was found to have potent antibacterial activity, and hence, was taken for further analysis. This isolate was designated as Beijerinickia fluminensis VIT01. The bioactive components obtained were extracted and later subjected to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analyses for identification. Several novel bioactive compounds were reported from the data obtained and were found to have potent antibacterial activity. Hence, they could be used as an alternative to antibiotics for treating several fish pathogens in the aquaculture industry.read more

TL;DR: In this article , the authors reported the isolation of rare actinobacteria from Egyptian soil using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, which was identified as Amycolatopsis keratiniphila DPA04 and its derivatives (AK_1 and N-demethyl ECO-0501) had better binding scores (−12.93, −12.24, and −11.92 kcal/mol) than the co-crystallized 4HY inhibitor (−8.99), making them promising candidates as MATE inhibitors.

Marine actinomycetes: an ongoing source of novel bioactive metabolites.
TL;DR: The ecological role of actinomycetes in the marine ecosystem is largely neglected and various assumptions meant there was little incentive to isolate marine strains for search and discovery of new drugs, but continued development of improved cultivation methods and molecular technologies for accessing the marine environment promises to provide access to this significant new source of chemical diversity.

TL;DR: A screening method was established to detect inhibitors of the biosynthetic pathways of aromatic amino acids and para-aminobenzoic acid, the precursor of folic acid, using an agar plate diffusion assay modified as an antagonism test, and a family of three novel polycyclic polyketides named as abyssomicins was isolated from a marine strain of Verrucosispora.
