ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF CALLYSPONGIA DIFFUSA (MARINE SPONGE) ASSOCIATED ENDOPHYTIC BACTERIA L STRAINS
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 7
Abstract
Objective: To screen the antimicrobial activity Of Callyspongia Diffusa (Marine Sponge) Associated Endophytic Bacterial Strains.Methods: We have isolated endophytic bacterias CDB-1 and CDB-2 from marine sponge Callyspongia diffusa and identified as Pseudomonas taiwanensis strain and Lysinibacillussphaericus strain respectively by the phylogenetic analysis. Fractions of CDB-1 and CDB-2 were screened for in vitro and in vivo antimicrobial activities against pathogenic bacteria and mycobacterium tuberculosis H37 RV strain by Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) method.Results: The lowest MIC against Kleibesella pnumoniae, Escherichia coli and Enterococcus feacalis was found to be 0.2 µg/ml and 0.4 µg/ml respectively for CDB-2. A significant antifungal activity was observed against Candida albicans (0.2-0.8 µg/ml) and Aspergillus niger (0.2-0.4 µg/ml). Further, Chloroform fraction of CDB-1 and ethyl acetate fraction of CDB-2 have shown significant anti-tubercular activity against the tested organism with MIC of 6.25µg/ml. This was supported by in vivo antimicrobial activity against K. Pneumonia infection in mice and least haemolytic activity against erythrocytes was observed. Compared to chloramphenicol.Conclusion: In this study, we have reported the marine natural species offer a rich source of bioactive metabolites that can exploit to develop novel, useful and potential therapeutic agents.
