Abstract—
A complex of soil actinomycetes in the upper horizon of Grumusol (Vertisol) on the western coast of Lake Kinneret in the vicinity of Tiberias (Lower Galilee, Israel) was studied. A high-throughput screening of the antibiotic activity of 26 isolates of the genus Streptomyces using on a dual reporter system revealed the strain 3IZ-6, which had the ability to inhibit protein synthesis. This strain was assigned to Streptomyces rochei according to the polyphase taxonomy approach. The active substance of S. rochei 3IZ-6 was isolated and purified using solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography. Toeprint analysis and mass spectrophotometric data allowed us to identify this active compound as borrelidin, a known inhibitor of protein biosynthesis. When co-cultivated on solid media, strain 3IZ-6 is able to suppress the growth of phytopathogenic microorganisms Fusarium solani, F. sambucinum, and Botrytis cinerea, as well as the quarantine object Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens. The cultural liquid of 3IZ-6 had a pronounced phytotoxic effect on the seeds of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Strain Streptomyces rochei 3IZ-6 can find application in biotechnology as a producer of borrelidin, a valuable natural compound with a wide spectrum of antibiotic activity, which can be used as a biocontrol agent for crop protection from phytopathogens and weeds.
