Background The ability of actinomycetes to produce bioactive secondary metabolites makes them one of the most important prokaryotes. Marine actinomycetes are one of the most important secondary metabolites producers used for pharmaceuticals and other different industries. Results In this study, the promising actinomycetes were isolated from Abu-Qir Bay. Four different media named as starch nitrate, starch casein, glycerol asparagine, and glycerol glycine were used as a preliminary experimental media to study the role of the medium components on the counts of actinomycetes in sediment samples. The results indicated that starch casein medium reported the highest counts (30-63 CFU/g) in all the tested sites. Lower counts were detected on starch nitrate and glycerol asparagine. On the other hand, glycerol glycine medium gave the lowest counts (15-48 CFU/g). Abu-Qir8 harbored the highest average count of actinomycetes (63 CFU/g), followed by Abu-Qir1 (48 CFU/g). The lower counts were detected in Abu-Qir5 and Abu-Qir7 (26 and 29 CFU/g, respectively). A total of 12 pure obtained actinomycetes isolates were subjected to morphological, physiological, and biochemical characterization. The selected actinobacterial isolates were subjected to numerical analysis, and the majority of isolates were grouped into four main clusters (A, B, C, & D), and each of them harbored two isolates; additionally, four isolates did not cluster at this similarity level. Isolate W4 was carefully chosen as the most promising pigment and anti-microbial agent's producer; the produced pigment was extracted and optimized by statistical experiments (PBD & BBD) and was tested for its anti-inflammatory activity. The results showed anti-inflammatory effect and prevented the denaturation of BSA protein at a concentration much higher than the safe dose and increased with increasing the pigment concentration. Conclusion Marine actinomycetes play a vital role in the production of novel and important economic metabolites that have many industrial and pharmaceuticals applications. Streptomyces genera are the most important actinomycetes that produce important metabolites as previously reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
