Isolation and characterization of a marine actinomyces LYG-1 with antitumor activity / 中国药科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Marine actinomyces LYG-1 was isolated from marine mud flats in Lianyungang,China.Strain LYG-1 was identified using the methods of morphology,physiological and ehemotaxonomic characterization and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis.The results showed that strain LYG-1 was a marine variable species of Streptomyces roseosporus.The fermentation broth of strain LYG-1 exhibited conspicuous antitumor activity against HepG2,MCF-7,HCT116 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines,and the IC50 values were defined by MTT method respectively.
