An actinomycete strain, PTD5-9T, was isolated from peat swamp forest soil in Narathiwat Province, Thailand. Chemotaxonomic features and phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence placed this strain within the genus Streptomyces. It exhibited the highest sequence similarity to Streptomyces gelaticus NRRL B-2928ᵀ (99.38%) and Streptomyces sanglieri NBRC 100784ᵀ (99.31%). However, the average nucleotide identity based on MUMmer (ANIm) values (88.48–88.56%), the average amino acid identity (84.37–84.97%), and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) estimates (31.2–36.5%) were significantly below the accepted thresholds for species demarcation, supporting its classification as a new species within the genus. Accordingly, the name Streptomyces tyrfis sp. nov. is proposed. The crude extract derived from the culture broth of strain PTD5-9ᵀ exhibited potent antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria (MIC ≤ 250 µg/mL). Subsequent chemical analysis led to the identification of ten bioactive secondary metabolites: isocycloheximide (1), (2R,4S,6E)-anhydrocycloheximide (2), actiphenol (3), (−)-phenatic acid A (4), 8-O-methyltetrangomycin (5), 8-O-methylrabelomycin (6), 4-hydroxy-8-O-methylrabelomycin (7), tetrangulol methyl ether (also known as X-14881 E) (8), (−)-elmonin (9), and 2-phenylacetamide (10). Among these, compounds 3, 6, 7, and 8, which were isolated in sufficient quantities, exhibited notable inhibitory activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with MIC values ranging from 3.13 to 25.0 µg/mL. Furthermore, compounds 6, 7, and 8 demonstrated pronounced cytotoxicity against human small cell lung cancer (NCI-H187) cells (IC₅₀: 1.10–7.80 µM), and against human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells (IC₅₀: 1.21–24.6 µM).

A novel culturable insect-derived actinobacterium, designated strain Odt1-20BT, was isolated from Odontotermes formosanus. The cells exhibited aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, and filamentous characteristics. Strain Odt1-20BT formed well-developed substrate and aerial mycelia, with straight spore chains borne on the aerial mycelium. Strain Odt1-20BT grew at 20–40 °C (optimum 30 °C), 0˗4% (w/v) NaCl, and pH 5˗10 (optimum 7−8). The l,l-diaminopimelic acid was determined in the whole-cell hydrolysate of strain Odt1-20BT. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylethanolamine, whereas the detected major quinones were MK-9(H<inf>4</inf>), MK-9(H<inf>6</inf>), and MK-9(H<inf>8</inf>). Whole-cell sugars were galactose, glucose, mannose, ribose, and xylose. Summed feature C<inf>18:1</inf> ω6c/ω7c, C<inf>16:0</inf>, anteiso-C<inf>15:0</inf>, and iso-C<inf>16:0</inf> were the main fatty acids. The draft genome size was 10,091,787 nucleotides, with a G + C content of 71.5%. Comparative phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence demonstrated that strain Odt1-20BT belonged to the genus Streptomyces, and shared the highest similarity with S. davaonensis JCM 4913 T (98.55%). Furthermore, phylogenomic analysis showed that strain Odt1-20BT was clearly distinguished from the closely related Streptomyces species. The average nucleotide identity analyses based on BLAST (ANIb) and MUMmer (ANIm) between strain Odt1-20BT and its related species ranged below 87%, and the digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values ranged from 21.2% to 29.9%, all of which are below the species delimitation thresholds. The results of polyphasic taxonomy clearly indicated that strain Odt1-20BT represents a novel species, proposed as Streptomyces odontotermitis sp. nov. with the type strain Odt1-20BT (= NBRC 116112 T = TBRC 16156 T).

Three previously undescribed compounds including 2′,3′-dihydroxy-4,5′,4″-trimethoxy-p-terphenyl (1), 5-methoxyhydroperoxycochliodinol (2), and 5-(3′,3′-dimethylallyl)indole-3-oxoacetic acid (17), along with fifteen known compounds (3–16 and 18), were isolated from the endophytic fungus, Chaetomium globosum BCC71876. The chemical structures were determined by NMR spectral information as well as the comparison with those closely related compounds reported in the literature. The compounds isolated were evaluated for biological properties including antimalarial, anti-TB, anti-plant pathogenic fungal, antibacterial, and cytotoxicity. The isolated compounds exhibited a wide range of biological activities against the tested cell lines and showed very low cytotoxicity against both cancerous (MCF-7 and NCI-H187) and non-cancerous (Vero) cells, except for compounds 5, 10, 11, 17, and 18 (IC<inf>50</inf> 0.47 − 114.8 µM). Cochliodinol (5) had the strongest antimalarial activity (IC<inf>50</inf> 4.39 µM), whereas chaetomugilin J (11) showed the strongest anti-TB activity (MIC 3.13 µg/mL).

Thiolutin and 2,2-dioxidothiolutin are sulfur-containing antibiotics discovered through a targeted high-throughput screening strategy designed to identify compounds with antimicrobial activity. The producing strain, JHD1T, is an actinomycete isolated from marine sediment collected in Chonburi Province, Thailand. Chemotaxonomic characteristics and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain JHD1T belongs to the genus Streptomyces. Taxonomic analysis using a polyphasic approach further supported its placement within the genus Streptomyces. The strain exhibited low similarity to its closest known relatives, Streptomyces alkaliterrae OF1T and Streptomyces chumphonensis KK1-2T, with average nucleotide identity based on MuMmer ultra-rapid aligning tool (ANIm) values of 85.7–86.2%, average amino acid identity (AAI) values of 71.8–78.1%, and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values of 23.4–25.0%, all well below the established thresholds for species delineation. These results reveal that strain JHD1T represents a novel species within the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces marinisediminis sp. nov. is proposed. The crude extract obtained from the culture broth of strain JHD1T exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria and led to the discovery of two promising secondary metabolites, thiolutin and 2,2-dioxidothiolutin, along with 8-amino-2H-benz[e][1,3]oxazine-2,4(3H)-dione, benadrostin, 2,3-dihydroxybenzamide, and 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzamide. In this study, 2,2-dioxidothiolutin was structurally confirmed for the first time by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Interestingly, thiolutin demonstrated strong anti-human small cell lung cancer (NCI-H187) activity, with an IC₅₀ value of 0.35 µg/mL, and also showed cytotoxicity against human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells, with an IC₅₀ value of 5.61 µg/mL.

Twelve hitherto undescribed cis-decalinoyltetramic acid derivatives (arengasetins A – L), a unique spiro[2.4]heptendione (spiroarengarone) and two benzoquinones (arengaquinones A and B), together with the highly oxygenated polycyclic molecule, epicolactone, were isolated from the palm fungus Leptosporella arengae TBRC-BCC 32590. Chemical structures were determined by extensive analyses of 2D NMR spectroscopic data and chemical means. The absolute configuration of arengasetin A (1) was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic information, while the absolute configurations of other related compounds were corroborated by comparison of NMR spectroscopic data and chemical reactions. The isolated compounds exhibited activity against Plasmodium falciparum (K1, multidrug-resistant strain, IC<inf>50</inf> 6.42 – > 38.76 μM), Bacillus cereus (MIC 0.78 – > 50.0 μg/mL), Staphylococcus aureus (MIC 1.56 – > 50.0 μg/mL), and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MIC 6.25 – > 50.0 μg/mL). Cytotoxicity against both cancerous (MCF-7 and NCI-H187) and noncancerous (Vero) was also reported.

Pradimicin U is a new dihydrobenzo[a]naphthacenequinone compound found to be active on a screen designed to investigate compounds with antimicrobial activity, produced by the actinomycete designated strain FMUSA5-5T. The strain was isolated from a bio-fertilizer of Musa spp. collected from Suphanburi province, Thailand. The chemotaxonomic characteristics and 16S rRNA gene analysis revealed that strain FMUSA5-5T is a member of the genus Nonomuraea. Low genome-based taxonomic criteria, average nucleotide identity (ANI) (82.8–88.3%), average amino-acid identity (AAI) (79.4–87.3%), and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) (29.5–38.5%) values and several phenotypic differences between strain FMUSA5-5T and its closest type strains of the genus Nonomuraea indicated that strain FMUSA5-5T represents a novel species of the genus Nonomuraea and the name Nonomuraea composti sp. nov. is proposed for the strain. The crude extract from the culture broth of strain FMUSA5-5T displayed promising antimicrobial activity against several pathogens and led to the isolation of a novel secondary metabolite, pradimicin U. Interestingly, this compound displayed a broad spectrum of biological activities such as antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum K1 (IC<inf>50</inf> value = 3.65 µg/mL), anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra (MIC value = 25.0 µg/mL), anti-Alternaria brassicicola BCC 42724 (MIC value = 25.0 µg/mL), anti-Bacillus cereus ATCC 11778 and anti-Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 (MIC values = 6.25 and 1.56 µg/mL, respectively). Moreover, the compound possessed strong anti-human small cell lung cancer (NCI-H187) activity with IC<inf>50</inf> value of 5.69 µg/mL, while cytotoxicity against human breast cancer (MCF-7) and Vero cells was very weak (IC<inf>50</inf> values of 52.49 and 21.84 µg/mL, respectively).

An actinomycete, designated strain CH9-7T, was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of Mangifera indica. The morphological and chemotaxonomic properties, such as the production of spiral spore chains and the presence of LL-diaminopimelic acid in the peptidoglycan, showed that it belongs to the genus Streptomyces. Based on the 16S rRNA gene analysis, it was confirmed that strain CH9-7T was a member of the genus Streptomyces and revealed 99.9% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to its closest relative strains, Streptomyces lydicus NBRC 13058 T and Streptomyces chattanoogensis NBRC 12754 T. Although the strain showed high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values, however, genome relatedness indexes exhibited that the average nucleotide identity based on the MUMmer (ANIm) algorithm, the average amino acid identity (AAI), and the digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain CH9-7T and its closest phylogenomic relatives were below the threshold values for delineation of a novel species, (ANIm ranging from 87.5 to 88.6, AAI ranging from 80.6 to 84.6, and dDDH ranging from 28.4 to 31.7), respectively. A taxonomic position of strain CH9-7T in the phylogenomic tree showed that the closest relative strain was S. lydicus NBRC 13058 T. The comparative phenotypic studies between strain CH9-7T and its closest relatives revealed that strain CH9-7T could be classified as a novel species of the genus Streptomyces. Thus, the name Streptomyces siderophoricus sp. nov. is proposed for the strain. The type strain is CH9-7T (= TBRC 17833 T = NBRC 116426 T). The chemical investigation led to the isolation of four known compounds (compounds 1-4). Among these compounds, compound 1 was identified to be nocardamine, a promising bioactive substance.

Strain Odt1-22T, an insect-derived actinomycete was isolated from a termite (Odontotermes formosanus) that was collected from Chanthaburi province, Thailand. Strain Odt1-22T was aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, and produced bud-like spore chain on the substrate hypha. According to chemotaxonomic analysis, strain Odt1-22T contained meso-diaminopimelic acid in peptidoglycan and the whole-cell hydrolysates contained arabinose, galactose, glucose, and ribose. The major menaquinone was MK-8(H<inf>4</inf>). The diagnostic phospholipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, hydroxyphosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16 S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain Odt1-22T was identified to the genus Actinomycetospora and showed high similarity values with A. chiangmaiensis DSM 45062 T (99.24%), A. soli SF1T (99.24%) and A. corticicola 014-5 T (98.17%). The genomic size of strain Odt1-22T was 6.6 Mbp with 73.8% G + C content and 6355 coding sequences (CDSs). The genomic analysis, strain Odt1-22T and closely related species A. chiangmaiensis DSM 45062 T, A. soli SF1T and A. corticicola DSM 45772 T displayed the values of average nucleotide identity-blast (ANIb) at 83.7–84.1% and MUMmer (ANIm) at 86.6–87.0%. Moreover, the results of digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain Odt1-22T and related Actinomycetospora species were 45.8−50.5% that lower than the threshold value of commonly used to delineate separated species level. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and genotypic data, strain Odt1-22T represented a novel species within the genus Actinomycetospora, for which the name Actinomycetospora termitidis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the species is Odt1-22T (= TBRC 16192 T = NBRC 115965 T).

Tirandamycin (TAM B) is a tetramic acid antibiotic discovered to be active on a screen designed to find compounds with neuroprotective activity. The producing strain, SBST2-5T, is an actinobacterium that was isolated from wastewater treatment bio–sludge compost collected from Suphanburi province, Thailand. Taxonomic characterization based on a polyphasic approach indicates that strain SBST2-5T is a member of the genus Streptomyces and shows low average nucleotide identity (ANI) (81.7%), average amino-acid identity (AAI) (78.5%), and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) (25.9%) values to its closest relative, Streptomyces thermoviolaceus NBRC 13905T, values that are significantly below the suggested cut-off values for the species delineation, indicating that strain SBST2-5T could be considered to represent a novel species of the genus Streptomyces. The analysis of secondary metabolites biosynthetic gene clusters (smBGCs) in its genome and chemical investigation led to the isolation of TAM B. Interestingly, TAM B at 20 µg/mL displayed a suppressive effect on beta-secretase 1 (BACE1) with 68.69 ± 8.84% inhibition. Molecular docking simulation reveals the interaction mechanism between TAM B and BACE1 that TAM B was buried in the pocket of BACE-1 by interacting with amino acids Thr231, Asp 228, Gln73, Lys 107 via hydrogen bond and Leu30, Tyr71, Phe108, Ile118 via hydrophobic interaction, indicating that TAM B represents a potential active BACE1 inhibitor. Moreover, TAM B can protect the neuron cells significantly (% neuron viability = 83.10 ± 9.83% and 112.72 ± 6.83%) from oxidative stress induced by serum deprivation and Aβ<inf>1–42</inf> administration models at 1 ng/mL, respectively, without neurotoxicity on murine P19-derived neuron cells nor cytotoxicity against Vero cells. This study was reportedly the first study to show the neuroprotective and BACE1 inhibitory activities of TAM B.

An actinomycete strain, AA8T, which produced a long straight chain of spores (verticillati type), was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of Mangifera indica in Bangkok, Thailand. A polyphasic taxonomic study was carried out to establish the taxonomic position of the strain. Strain AA8T formed a tight taxonomic position in the 16S rRNA gene tree with Streptomyces roseifaciens MBT76T. In contrast, the genome-based taxonomic analysis showed that strain AA8T shared low average nucleotide identity-BLAST (94.1%), the digital DNA–DNA hybridization (58.2%), and the average amino acid identity (93.6%) values with S. roseifaciens MBT76T. Moreover, a combination of physiological and biochemical properties indicated that strain AA8T was distinguished from all Streptomyces species with effectively published names. Strain AA8T, therefore, represents a novel species of Streptomyces, and the name Streptomyces telluris is proposed for the strain. The type strain is AA8T (= TBRC 8483T = NBRC 113461T). The chemical investigation led to the isolation of nine known compounds (compounds 1–9). Among these compounds, compound 7 (3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde) possesses strong antioxidant activity equal to ascorbic acid, a powerful antioxidative agent.
