title: Optimization and production of pyrrolidone antimicrobial agent from marine sponge-associated Streptomyces sp. MAPS15.
abstract: Twenty-nine actinobacterial strains were isolated from marine sponge Spongia officinalis and screened for antagonistic activity against various bacterial and fungal pathogens. The active antibiotic producer MAPS15 was identified as Streptomyces sp. using 16S rRNA phylogenetic analysis. The critical control factors were selected from Plackett-Burman (PB) factorial design and the bioprocess medium was optimized by central composite design (CCD) for the production of bioactive metabolite from Streptomyces sp. MAPS15. The maximum biomass and active compound production obtained with optimized medium was 6.13 g/L and 62.41 mg/L, respectively. The economical carbon source, paddy straw was applied for the enhanced production of bioactive compound. The purified active fraction was characterized and predicted as pyrrolidone derivative which showed broad spectrum of bioactivity towards indicator organisms. The predicted antimicrobial spectra suggested that the Streptomyces sp. MAPS15 can produce a suite of novel antimicrobial drugs.
