Herein we report the isolation of a novel actinomycete, strain MCCB 268T, from the sediment sample collected from a high Arctic fjord Kongsfjorden. MCCB 268T showed greater than 97% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with those of Pseudonocardia konjuensis LM 157T (98.06%), Pseudonocardia soli NW8-21 (97.22%) Pseudonocardia endophytica YIM 56035 (97...

Symbiotic microbes are essential to the ecological success and evolutionary diversification of multicellular organisms. The establishment and stability of bipartite symbioses are shaped by mechanisms ensuring partner fidelity between host and symbiont. In this minireview, we demonstrate how the interface of chemical signals and host structures infl...

Pseudonocardia autotrophica was previously identified to produce a toxicity-reduced and solubility-improved disaccharide-containing anti-fungal compound belonging to the tetraene-family, Nystatin-like Pseudonocardia Polyene A1 (NPP A1). Subsequently NPP B1, a novel derivative harboring a heptaene core structure, was produced by a pathway-engineered...

A novel Gram-stain-positive, aerobic actinomycete, designated strain SMC 195T, was isolated from soil collected from a mangrove forest in Thailand. The strain produced extensively branched substrate and aerial mycelia. The substrate mycelium was fragmented into rod-shaped elements, and spore chains consisting of smooth and rod-shaped spores were fo...

Pseudonocardia spp. are receiving increasing attention due to their ability to biodegrade recalcitrant cyclic ether pollutants (e.g., 1,4-dioxane and tetrahydrofuran), as well as for their distinctive ecological niches (e.g., symbiosis with ants/plants and production of antibiotics). Isolating and characterizing Pseudonocardia spp. is thus importan...

Nocardia terpenica IFM 0406 is the producer of the immunosuppressants brasilicardins A-D. Brasilicardin is a promising compound because of its unique mode of action and its higher potency and reduced toxicity compared to today's standard drugs. However, production of brasilicardin is so far hampered as Nocardia terpenica IFM 0406 synthesizes brasil...

Polyene macrolides such as nystatin A1 and amphotericin B have been known to be potent antifungal antibiotics for several decades. Because the therapeutic application of polyenes is restricted by severe side effects such as nephrotoxicity, various chemical and biological studies to modify the polyene structure have been conducted to develop less-to...

In recent years, several strains capable of degrading 1,4-dioxane have been isolated from the genera Pseudonocardia and Rhodococcus. This study was conducted to evaluate the 1,4-dioxane degradation potential of phylogenetically diverse strains in these genera. The abilities to degrade 1,4-dioxane as a sole carbon and energy source and co-metabolica...

Seed-borne microbiota can transmit vertically from generation to generation and be a favour mutualism between the endosymbionts and hosts. The aim of this study was to investigate the rice-associated actinobacterial taxa in roots, stems, and grains and explore vertically transmitted core actinobacteriome of rice plants. Illumina sequencing analyses...
