  The “Sebkha of Monastir” is a Tunisian permanent wetland that constitutes a virgin environment to search new biotechnologically relevant microorganisms and activities. A total of 71 different strains were isolated, including 54 Streptomyces, 2 Micromonospora, 2 Nocardia, 4 Pseudonocardia and 9 non-streptomyces actinomyetes. Interesting antimicrobial activities were detected in liquid and solid cultures. The antimicrobial profiles depended upon the culture medium and/or the organic extraction. Several bioactive compounds were identified by liquid chromatography (LC) combined with mass spectrometry (MS) and then analyzed by MEDINA´s database and the Dictionary of Natural Products Chapman & Hall. Isoflavones (genistein and deidzein) are the most produced known active compounds. The chemical structures of four putative novel compounds were elucidated. Interestingly, .. View More»
