Produção e caracterização de protease fibrinolítica de Streptomyces parvulus DPUA 1573 / Production and characterization of fibrinolytic protease from Streptomyces parvulus DPUA 1573

As proteases fibrinolíticas são capazes de degradar coágulos de fibrina formados dentro dos vasos sanguíneos, evitando a trombose intravascular. Em animais, a tromboflebite, que acomete frequentemente os equinos, ocasiona, em seus casos graves, a obstrução jugular e também um edema de laringe, derivando a obstrução das vias aéreas, o que possibilita um edema cerebral, ocorrendo o óbito do animal. Devido ao fato de o tratamento ser de custo elevado, faz-se necessária a investigação de outras fontesde proteases fibrinolíticas com custos menores e com menos efeitos colaterais. Diante disso, este estudo tem como objetivo produzir e caracterizar proteases fibrinolíticas obtidas de Streptomyces parvulus DPUA 1573. Para produção da enzima, foi utilizado um planejamento fatorial 24 avaliando a concentração da farinha de soja (0,5, 1,0 e 1,5%) e da glicose (0, 0,5 e 1,0g/L), temperatura (28, 32 e 37ºC) e agitação (150, 200 e 250rpm) sobre a biomassa e a atividade fibrinolítica. Pode-se verificar que a protease fibrinolítica apresentou atividade máxima (835U/mL) nas condições de concentração de 1,5% de soja, 1g/L de glicose, 28°C e 150rpm com 48 horas de fermentação. A protease fibrinolítica obtida teve temperatura e pH ótimos de 55°C e pH 9,0, respectivamente. A atividade enzimática foi inibida pelo EDTA, pelo íon Fe2+ e pelo SDS, o que indicou a enzima ser uma metaloprotease. A linhagem Streptomyces parvulus DPUA 1573 foi capaz de produzir protease fibrinolítica, possuindo características bioquímicas favoráveis à aplicação na medicina veterinária e possivelmente humana.(AU)

Fibrinolytic proteases are able to degrade fibrin clot formed in the blood vessel, avoiding intravascular thrombosis. In animals, thrombophlebitis often affects horses, and in severe cases causes obstruction of the jugular and laryngeal edema leading to airway obstruction allowing cerebral edema resulting in the death of the animal. Since treatment is costly, the investigation of other sources of fibrinolytic proteases at lower cost and with fewer side effects is needed. Thus, this study aims to produce and characterize fibrinolytic proteases from Streptomyces parvulus DPUA 1573. For enzyme production, a factorial design was performed to evaluate 24 soybean flour concentration (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%) and glucose (0, 0.5 and 1.0g/L), temperature (28, 32 and 37°C) and agitation (150, 200 and 250rpm) on biomass and fibrinolytic activity. Fibrinolytic protease showed maximum activity (835 U/mL) under these conditions: 1.5% soybean flour, 1g/L glucose, 28°C, and 150rpm 48 hours of fermentation. The optimal temperature was 55°C and optimal pH was 9.0. Fibrinolytic protease activity was inhibited by EDTA, the ion Fe2+, and by SDS, which indicated that the enzyme is a metallo-protease. The strain Streptomyces parvulus DPUA 1573 was able to produce fibrinolytic protease with biochemical characteristics favorable for application in veterinary and human medicine.(AU)

Atividade antimicrobiana de moléculas bioativas produzidas por Streptomyces parvulus DPUA 1573 frente a Staphylococcus spp. multirresistentes de mastite bubalina / Antimicrobial activity of bioactive molecules produced by Streptomyces parvulus DPUA 1573 against Staphylococcus spp. multi-drug resistant isolates from mastitis buffalo

A mastite é uma inflamação na glândula mamária que pode acarretar perdas na produção e na qualidade do leite, gerando prejuízos econômicos para a pecuária leiteira. O tratamento é baseado na utilização de antibióticos, sendo, em muitos casos, ineficazes devido à resistência bacteriana já conhecida para esta doença. O objetivo deste trabalho foi selecionar linhagens de Streptomyces spp. produtoras de biocompostos com atividade antimicrobiana frente a isolados do gênero Staphylococcus multirresistentes de búfalas com mastite. Bem como, determinar os melhores parâmetros de produção, e avaliar a produção simultânea de ácido clavulânico. A seleção de Streptomyces spp. com capacidade de produzir compostos com atividade antimicrobiana foi realizada através da técnica bloco de gelose. Dentre as 30 espécies de Streptomyces spp. testadas, o micro-organismo Streptomyces parvulus DPUA 1573 apresentou melhores resultados, sendo capaz de inibir o crescimento de 7 isolados Staphylococcus spp. multirresistentes. Posteriormente, a espécie selecionada Streptomyces parvulus DPUA 1573 foi cultivada em diferentes condições pré-determinadas pelo planejamento fatorial 24, onde as variáveis independentes foram: concentração de soja (0,5; 1,0; 1,5%), glicose (0; 0,5; 1g/L), agitação (150; 200; 250rpm) e temperatura (28; 32; 37°C) e todos os ensaios do planejamento foram monitorados até 120 horas de cultivo. Todas as variáveis independentes influenciaram positivamente no crescimento celular, enquanto que para atividade antimicrobiana apenas as variáveis temperatura e agitação apresentaram efeitos significativos positivos. O líquido metabólito produzido por Streptomyces parvulus DPUA 1573 foi capaz de inibir o crescimento de sete Staphylococcus spp. multirresistentes. As melhores condições de cultivo para a produção de moléculas bioativas por este micro-organismo foi a 37?C, com 250rpm de agitação por período de 72 horas. Nos ensaios que apresentaram atividade antimicrobiana, foi avaliada a produção de ácido clavulânico ao longo do cultivo. A maior concentração de ácido clavulânico foi de 269,84g/L obtidas nas condições de 1,5% de farinha de soja em ausência de glicose no tempo de 96 horas. A linhagem Streptomyces parvulus DPUA 1573 foi eficiente contra Staphylococcus spp. multirresistentes isolados de mastite em búfalas, ainda apresentando concomitantemente produção de ácido clavulânico com o potencial uso farmacêutico.(AU)

Mastitis is an inflammation in one or more mammary glands which can lead to reduction in production and quality of milk causing economic losses to dairy farming. The use of antibiotics is the key for the treatment of this disease, but in many cases ineffective due to bacterial resistance already known for this condition. The aim of this study was to select strains of Streptomyces spp. producing biomolecules with antimicrobial activity against multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus isolated from buffaloes with mastitis, as well as to determine the best production parameters to the evaluation of simultaneous production of clavulanic acid. Thirty species of Streptomyces spp. were used to selecting the greatest producer spectrum of antimicrobial activity (agar block technique), with selection of Streptomyces parvulus DPUA 1573, and 7 multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus spp. sensitive to its biocompounds. The selected strain of Streptomyces parvulus DPUA 1573 was cultured in different conditions predetermined by the factorial design 24, where the independent variables were: soybean concentration (0.5, 1.0, 1.5%), glucose (0, 0.5, 1g/L), agitation (150, 200, 250rpm) and temperature (28, 32, 37°C); all the tests were monitored up to 120 hours of cultivation. All independent variables influenced positively the cell growth, while for antimicrobial activity only the variables temperature and agitation showed positive effects. The antimicrobial bio compounds showed activity against seven multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus spp under the conditions: temperature 37°C, agitation 250rpm, with 72 hours of production process. In the tests which showed antimicrobial activity, was also assessed the production of clavulanic acid along with the cultivation. The highest concentration of clavulanic acid was 269.84g/L obtained under the conditions of 1.5% of soybean flour and absence of glucose in 96 hours. The strain Streptomyces parvulus DPUA 1573 was effective against multidrug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus spp. of mastitis from buffaloes, still showing concomitantly production of clavulanic acid for pharmaceutical use.(AU)

Production of polypeptide antibiotic from Streptomyces parvulus and its antibacterial activity

A highly potent secondary metabolite producing actinomycetes strain is isolated from marine soil sediments of Visakhapatnam sea coast, Bay of Bengal. Over all ten strains are isolated from the collected soil sediments. Among the ten actinomycetes strains the broad spectrum strain RSPSN2 was selected for molecular characterization, antibiotic production and its purification. The nucleotide sequence of the 1 rRNA gene (1261 base pairs) of the most potent strain evidenced a 96% similarity with Streptomyces parvulus 1044 strain, Streptomyces parvulus NBRC 13193 and Streptomyces parvulus BY-F. From the taxonomic features, the actinomycetes isolate RSPSN2 matches with Streptomyces parvulus in the morphological, physiological and biochemical characters. Thus, it was given the suggested name Streptomyces parvulus RSPSN2. The active metabolite was extracted using ethyl acetate (1:3, v/v) at pH 7.0. The separation of active ingredient and its purification was performed by using both thin layer chromatography (TLC) and column chromatography (CC) techniques. Spectrometric studies such as UV-visible, FTIR, and NMR and mass were performed. The antibacterial activity of pure compound was performed by cup plate method against some pathogenic bacteria including of streptomycin resistant bacteria like (Pseudomonas mirabilis. Pseudomonas putida and Bacillus cereus). In conclusion, the collected data emphasized the fact that a polypeptide antibiotic (Actinomycin D) was produced by Streptomyces parvulus RSPSN2.
