Streptomyces sp. VB1, an actinomycete isolated from marine sediments in Valparaíso Bay, Chile, synthesizes antimicrobial and antiproliferative compounds. This study presents comprehensive metabolomics and comparative genomics analyses of strain VB1. LC-HRMS dereplication and Molecular Networking analysis of crude extracts identified antibiotics suc...

Exploring Brevibacterium strains from various ecosystems may lead to the discovery of new antibiotic-producing strains. Brevibacterium sp. H-BE7, a strain isolated from marine sediments from Northern Patagonia, Chile, had its genome sequenced to study the biosynthetic potential to produce novel natural products within the Brevibacterium genus. The...

Exploring Brevibacterium strains from various ecosystems may lead to the discovery of new antibiotic-producing strains. Brevibacterium sp. H-BE7, a strain isolated from marine sediments from Northern Patagonia, Chile, exhibited antimicrobial activity against Salmonella enterica and Listeria monocytogenes. Chemical dereplication identified bioactive...
Article
An alkaliphilic actinobacterium, designated VN6-2 T , was isolated from marine sediment collected from Valparaíso Bay, Chile. Strain VN6-2 T formed yellowish-white branched substrate mycelium without fragmentation. Aerial mycelium was well developed, forming wavy or spiral spore chains. Strain VN6-2 T exhibited a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity o...

This work reports on the oxidation of long-chain aliphatic alcohols catalyzed by a stabilized alcohol dehydrogenase from S. cerevisiae (yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (YADH)). In particular, the oxidation of the fatty alcohol tetracosanol (C24H50O) to yield lignoceric acid (C23H47COOH) was studied. The immobilization of YADH onto glyoxyl agarose suppo...
Article
Aspergillus oryzae β-galactosidase was immobilized in monofunctional glyoxyl-agarose and heterofunctional supports (amino-glyoxyl, carboxy-glyoxyl and chelate-glyoxyl agarose), for obtaining highly active and stable catalysts for lactulose synthesis. Specific activities of the amino-glyoxyl agarose, carboxy-glyoxyl agarose and chelate-glyoxyl agaro...
