RESUMEN
An ethyl acetate extract of a marine actinomycete strain, Nocardiopsis mentallicus SCSIO 53858, isolated from a deep-sea sediment sample in the South China Sea, exhibited anti-quorum-sensing (QS) activity against Chromobacterium violaceum CV026. Guided by the anti-QS activity, a novel active compound was isolated and purified from the extract and was identified as 2,3-dimethoxycinnamic acid (2,3-DCA) through spectral data analysis. At a concentration of 150 µg/mL, 2,3-DCA exhibited robust inhibitory effects on three QS-regulated traits of C. violaceum CV026: violacein production, swarming motility, and biofilm formation, with inhibition rates of 73.9%, 65.9%, and 37.8%, respectively. The quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction results indicated that 2,3-DCA can disrupt the QS system in C. violaceum CV026 by effectively suppressing the expression of QS-related genes, including cviR, vioA, vioB, and vioE. Molecular docking analysis revealed that 2,3-DCA hinders the QS system by competitively binding to the same binding pocket on the CviR receptor as the natural signal molecule N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone. Collectively, these findings suggest that 2,3-DCA exhibits promising potential as an inhibitor of QS systems, providing a potential solution to the emerging problem of bacterial resistance.

Compounds 2 and 5 were two pairs of enantiomers. All compounds were tested for their α-glucosidase and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity, antioxidant activity and antibacterial activity, but no obvious activity was observed among these studied compounds.

Their enantiomers exhibited different antioxidative and cytotoxic activities. The modes of action were investigated by a preliminary molecular docking study.
RESUMEN
A novel mesophilic marine actinobacterial strain, designated as SCSIO 08198T, was isolated from a deep-sea sediment sample collected from the Indian Ocean. The strain was Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped and salmon pink in colour. Good growth occurred on marine agar with 1-5â% (w/v) NaCl and incubation at 28 °C for more than a fortnight. Sensitive to short ultraviolet radiation. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain SCSIO 08198T had the highest similarity of 97.2â% to Rubrobacter radiotolerans DSM 5868T, and loosely related (<94.2â%) to all other species in the genus Rubrobacter. Phylogenetic analysis based on nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the novel isolate shared a lineage with members of the genus Rubrobacter. The total cellular fatty acid profile was dominated by C16â:â0 12-methyl. MK-8 was the main menaquinone. The peptidoglycan type was A3α (l-Lys-l-Ala). The major phospholipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and unidentified phospholipids. Based on the whole genome sequence analysis, the genome size is 3â078â689 bp with DNA G+C value of 63.8 mol%, including one circular chromosome and two plasmids. Based on these polyphasic data, a new species, Rubrobacterindicoceani sp. nov., is proposed, with the type strain SCSIO 08198T (=DSM 105148T=CGMCC 1.16398T).

Phytopathogenic fungi remain a continuous and huge threat in the agricultural fields. The agrochemical industry has made great development of the use of microbial natural products, which has been regarded as an effective strategy against phytopathogenic fungi. Antifungal bioassay-directed fractionation was used to isolate two new oxepine-containing alkaloids (1 and 2), two new 4-aryl-quinolin-2-one alkaloids (3 and 4), and four new prenylated xanthones (5-8) from the deep-sea-derived fungus Aspergillus versicolor SCSIO 05879. Extensive NMR spectroscopic analysis, quantum mechanical calculations, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction were used to elucidate their structures, including their absolute configurations. Versicoloids A and B, versicone A, and cottoquinazoline A showed antifungal activities against three phytopathogenic fungi. The antifungal activities of these bioactive compounds strongly depend on the fungal species. Especially versicoloids A and B showed strong fungicidal effect (MIC of 1.6 µg/mL) against Colletotrichum acutatum, compared with that of the positive control cycloheximide (MIC of 6.4 µg/mL). The results of antifungal experiments indicated that versicoloids A and B may be regarded as candidate agents of antifungal agrochemicals.
