An actinomycete strain CSR-4 was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of Zingiber montanum. Taxonomic characterization revealed strain CSR-4 was a member of the genus Microbispora. Whole-genome sequence analysis exhibited the highest average nucleotide identity (ANI) value (95.34%) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (DDH) value (74.7%) between strain CSR-4 and the closest relative M. hainanensis DSM 45428T, which was in line with the assignment to same species. In addition, a new diterpene compound, 2α-hydroxy-8(14), 15-pimaradien-17, 18-dioic acid, and nine known compounds were isolated from the ethyl acetate crude extract of fermentation broth. Interestingly, a new diterpene displayed the suppressive effect on the recombinant human acetylcholinesterase (rhAChE) enzymes (IC<inf>50</inf> 96.87 ± 2.31 μg/ml). In silico studies based on molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to predict a binding mode of the new compound into the binding pocket of the rhAChE enzyme and revealed that some amino acids in the peripheral anions site (PAS), anionic subsite, oxyanion site and catalytic active site (CAS) of the rhAChE have interacted with the compound. Therefore, our new compound could be proposed as a potential active human AChE inhibitor. Moreover, the new compound can protect significantly the neuron cells (% neuron viability = 88.56 ± 5.19%) from oxidative stress induced by serum deprivation method at 1 ng/ml without both neurotoxicities on murine P19-derived neuron cells and cytotoxicity against Vero cells.

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.

A novel actinomycete, strain PLAI 1-1T, which formed spiny single spore directly on substrate mycelium was isolated from root tissue of Zingiber montanum. The isolate contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and 3-hydroxydiaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The acyl type of the cell-wall muramic acid was glycolyl. The whole-cell sugars of strain PLAI 1-1T were glucose, arabinose, xylose, ribose and a trace amount of mannose. The membrane phospholipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylinositol. The major menaquinone was MK-9 (H<inf>4</inf>). The main cellular fatty acids were iso-C<inf>15: 0</inf> and C<inf>17: 1</inf> w8c. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 70.6 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain PLAI 1-1T was a member of the genus Jishengella and had the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Jishengella endophytica DSM 45430T (99.2 %). Based on the data of physiological and biochemical tests, including the result of DNA–DNA hybridization, strain PLAI 1-1T represents a novel species of the genus Jishengella, for which the name Jishengella zingiberis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PLAI 1-1T (=TBRC 7644T =NBRC 113144T ).

An actinobacterium, strain CH5-8T, which formed spiral chains of spore arising from the aerial mycelium, was isolated from rhizosphere soil of Musa spp. The organism exhibited vivid greenish yellow substrate mycelium and easily produced the medium grey aerial spore mass on ISP2 medium. The typical chemotaxonomic properties of members of the genus Streptomyces were observed for strain CH5-8T, e.g. ll-diaminopimelic acid in cell peptidoglycan, MK-9(H<inf>8</inf>), MK-9(H<inf>6</inf>), and MK-9(H<inf>4</inf>) as major menaquinones and anteiso-C<inf>15:0</inf>, iso-C<inf>16:0</inf>, and anteiso-C<inf>17:0</inf> as major fatty acids. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanola-mine, hydroxyphosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol mannoside were detected in the cells. A combination of morphological and chemotaxonomic data supported the assignment to the genus Strep-tomyces. The analysis result obtained for the 16S rRNA gene sequence confirmed the taxonomic affiliation at the genus level of this strain. The novel strain CH5-8T showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence values to Streptomyces echinatus NBRC 12763T (98.9%), followed by Streptomyces actinomycinicus RCU-197T (98.9%). The average nucleotide identity by blast (ANIb) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between CH5-8T and its closest relatives, S. echinatus CECT 3313T and S. actinomycinicus RCU-197T, were ≤91.6% and ≤47.4%, respectively. The digital DNA G+C content of genomic DNA was 72.1 mol%. On the basis of these phenotypic and genotypic data, strain CH5-8T represents a novel species, for which the name Streptomyces musisoli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CH5-8T (=TBRC 9950T=NBRC 113997T).

An endophytic Streptomyces-like micro-organism, designated strain PRB2-1T was isolated from root tissue of Epipremnum aureum (Linden and André) G.S. Bunting. The typical morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, i.e. the ability to produce straight spore chains directly on aerial mycelium and the presence of ll-diaminopimelic acid in cell-wall peptidogly-can, were consistent with its assignment to the genus Streptomyces. 16S rRNA gene analysis showed that strain PRB2-1T is a member of the genus Streptomyces with the highest similarity to Streptomyces bryophytorum DSM 42183T (98.4 %). Moreover, the draft genome sequence of strain PRB2-1T exhibited low average nucleotide identity by blast (79.9–83.8 %) and digital DNA– DNA hybridization (24.9–28.3 %) values to the reference strains, which were well below the species circumscription threshold. The DNA G+C content of genomic DNA was 73.6 mol%. Comparison of phenotypic characteristics and whole-genome sequence between strain PRB2-1T and its close relatives indicated that strain PRB2-1T could be classified as a novel species of the genus Streptomyces. Thus the name, Streptomyces epipremni sp. nov. is proposed for the strain. The type strain is PRB2-1T (=TBRC 7642T=NBRC 113169T).

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).

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 aerobic, non-motile, Gram-stain positive actinomycete, designated strain CA3R110T, was isolated from the surface-sterilised root of Coffea arabica L. collected from Lampang Province, Thailand. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain CA3R110T was a member of the genus Streptomyces and showed the closest similarities to Streptomyces buecherae AC541T (99.2%), followed by Streptomyces rapamycinicus NRRL B-5491T (99.1%), Streptomyces luteoverticillatus NBRC 3840T (99.1%), Streptomyces coerulescens NBRC 12758T (99.1%), and Streptomyces iranensis HM 35T (99.0%). Strain CA3R110T contained LL-diaminopimelic acid in cell peptidoglycan, MK-9(H<inf>6</inf>), and MK-9(H<inf>8</inf>) as major menaquinone, iso-C<inf>16:0,</inf>iso-C<inf>15:0,</inf> C<inf>16:0</inf> as major fatty acids. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, hydroxy-phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositolmannoside were detected in the cell. The chemotaxonomic characteristics possessed the typical properties of the genus Streptomyces. A low digital DNA–DNA hybridization (< 55.7%) and average nucleotide identity-blast (ANIb) (< 92.2%) values revealed that strain CA3R110T could be distinguished from any known Streptomyces species. With the differences in phenotypic and genotypic data, strain CA3R110T represents a novel species of genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces endocoffeicus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CA3R110T (= TBRC 11245T = NBRC 114296T).

Nine new chromone analogs (1–9) were isolated from the soil actinomycete Microbispora sp. TBRC6027. The chemical structures were determined based upon NMR spectroscopic methods. These compounds were evaluated in vitro by using P19-derived neurons for neuroprotective activity against oxidative stress induced by serum deprivation and showed % viability of neurons at the concentration of 1 ng/mL varied from 43.51% to 52.99% without significant neurotoxicity for P19-derived neurons at the same concentration. Moreover, all tested compounds were inactive for antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and for cytotoxicity against MCF-7 (human breast cancer) and Vero cells at maximum tested concentration 50 μg/mL. However, compounds 4, 6, and 7 displayed weak cytotoxicity against NCI-H187 (human small-cell lung cancer) cells with IC<inf>50</inf> in a range of 87.99–91.57 μM.
