| Sumario: | The bioactivity of culturable Actinobacteria from marine sediment of the Todos Santos Bay, Mexico was studied, and bacteria were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequences. The strains were cultured in 1 L of culture media A1 and tested for the effects of seawater on growth. The organic components of cultures were extracted with XAD-7 amberlite and eluted with acetone. The extracts were separated by flash chromatography on C-18 silica gel. The crude extracts and the fractions were tested against colorectal cancer cells HCT-116. In total, twenty six strains were cultured and identified, divided into ten operational taxonomic units (OTUs) with 100% sequence identity, representing 3 families in the order Actinomycetales, belonging to the genus Streptomyces (77%), Micromonospora (20%) and Nocardia (3%); six of those OTUs had not been reported before. Nineteen percent of the crude extracts of the Streptomyces genus showed cytotoxic activity in a range of IC50 of 69.0 to ≤ 0.076 mg·-1. The most active fractions contained compounds identified by their molecular weight and fragmentation patterns as monactin and pamamycin derivatives. |
