RESUMO

A urease-producing Gram-stain-positive actinobacterium, designated strain T5T, was isolated from a soil sample collected at a highway hillslope in Selangor, Malaysia. The strain was found to produce pale yellowish-pink aerial mycelia with smooth long chain spores and extensively branched light yellowish-pink substrate mycelia on oatmeal agar. Strain T5T grew at 15-37 °C, pH 6-11, and tolerated up to 9 % (w/v) NaCl, with optimal growth occurring at 28 °C, pH 6-9 and without NaCl. The whole-cell sugar hydrolysate of strain T5T contained galactose, glucose and ribose. The ll-diaminopimelic acid isomer was detected in the cell wall. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol were found to be the predominant polar lipids. The main fatty acids were anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C14 : 0. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain T5T belonged to Streptomyces of the family Streptomycetaceae with the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Streptomyces lichenis LCR6-01T (99.0 %). The overall genome relatedness indices revealed that the closest related species was S. lichenis LCR6-01T with 89.4 % average nucleotide identity and 33.7 % digital DNA-DNA hybridization. Phylogeny analyses showed that strain T5T was closely related to Streptomyces fradiae, Streptomyces lavendofoliae, Streptomyces lichenis, Streptomyces roseolilacinus and Streptomyces somaliensis. Based on these polyphasic data, strain T5T represents a novel species, for which the name Streptomyces solincola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is T5T (=TBRC 5137T= DSM 42166T).

RESUMO

Three novel actinobacterial strains, designated as TPS16T, TPS81 and TPS83, were isolated from a sample of marine sediment collected from Tioman Island, Malaysia. The strains formed abundant branched substrate mycelia without fragmentation along with production of blue spores and blue diffusible pigment on soybean meal agar. The strains could grow at pH ranging from pH 6 to 12 and in 0-8 % (w/v) NaCl. Cell-wall hydrolysis showed the presence of meso-diaminopimelic acid. The strains were closely related to Marinactinospora thermotolerans SCSIO 00652T (97.60 %) and Marinactinospora endophytica YIM 690053T (96.87 %) based on phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences. Multilocus sequence analysis including gyrB, recA and rpoB genes further confirmed that strain TPS16T represented a distinct branch within the family Nocardiopsaceae. The predominant menaquinones were MK-11(H2), MK-10(H2), MK-11(H4) and MK-10(H4), while the major fatty acids were found to be iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and C18 : 1ω9c. Genome sequencing revealed genome sizes of approximately 6 Mb and G+C contents of 73.8 mol%. A new genus, Marinitenerispora gen. nov., is proposed within the family Nocardiopsaceae based on polyphasic data and the type species is Marinitenerispora sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is TPS16T (=DSM 46825T=TBRC 5138T).

RESUMO

Tioman Island is one of many sources for underexplored actinobacterial diversity in Malaysia. Selective isolation, molecular profiling, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and phylogenetic analyses were carried out to highlight the diversity of the marine actinobacterial community in a sediment collected off Tioman Island. A high number of diverse actinobacteria were recovered using skim milk/HEPES pre-treatment on a mannitol-based medium. A total of 123 actinobacterial strains were isolated, including thirty obligate marine actinobacteria putatively identified as Salinispora spp. Molecular fingerprinting profiles obtained with a double digestion approach grouped the remaining non-Salinispora-like strains into 24 different clusters, with Streptomyces and Blastococcus as the major clusters. A total of 17 strains were identified as novel actinobacterial species within the genera Streptomyces (n = 6), Blastococcus (n = 5), Marinactinospora (n = 3), Nocardiopsis (n = 1), Agromyces (n = 1) and Nonomuraea (n = 1) based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. Polyphasic data from three putative Marinactinospora spp. showed that the strains represent a new genus in the Nocardiopsaceae family. Crude extracts from the strains were also found to inhibit the growth of Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis) and Gram-negative (Providencia alcalifaciens) pathogens. Hierarchical clustering of the bioactivities of an active fraction revealed a unique profile, which is closely related that of fosfomycin.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Leptin (LEP) G-2548A (rs7799039), leptin receptor (LEPR) Q223R (rs1137101) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α G-308A (rs1800629) gene variants have been reported to be associated with obesity, although results for subjects from different countries have been controversial. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity in Malaysian adolescents and the association of these polymorphisms with overweight and obese or over-fat adolescents. METHODS: A total of 613 adolescents (241 Malay, 219 Chinese, 153 Indian) were enrolled. Anthropometric measurements of body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage were used to classify subjects as controls (non-overweight/obese or normal fat) or as cases (overweight/obese or over-fat). Genomic DNA was extracted from oral buccal mucosa cells for genotyping using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and data obtained were statistically analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 23.3% of subjects were overweight/obese whereas 11.4% were over-fat; there were significantly more overweight/obese and over-fat Indian and Malay adolescents compared to Chinese (P < 0.001). A allele was the minor one for LEPR Q223R and TNF-α G-308A in all ethnic groups, whereas G allele was minor for LEP G-2548A in Chinese and Malay adolescents, except for Indian adolescents. Indian male adolescents with AA genotype for LEP G-2548A were associated with overweight/obesity (P = 0.025; odds ratio, 3.64; 95% confidence interval: 1.15-11.54). Despite the lack of association observed for LEPR Q223R and TNF-α G-308A, Indian and Chinese subjects with AA risk genotype for LEPR Q223R/LEP G-2548A and TNF-α G-308A/LEP G-2548A, respectively, had increased mean BMI (P = 0.049, P = 0.016). CONCLUSIONS: Genotype distribution and association of these polymorphisms with overweight/obesity vary between ethnic groups and genders. Nevertheless, the LEP G-2548A risk allele may be associated with overweight/obese Indian male adolescents in Malaysia.
