An attempt has been made to isolate, purify and characterize antifouling compound from Streptomyces fradiae PE7 isolated from Vellar estuarine sediment, Parangipettai, South India. The microbial identification was done at species level based on its phenotypic, cell wall and molecular characteristics. Strain PE7 produced high quantity of antifouling compounds in agar surface fermentation when compared to submerged fermentation. In fermentation optimization, wide range of sugars, amino acids, minerals, pH, temperature and NaCl concentration was found to influence the antifouling compound production from the strain PE7. Antifouling compound PE7-C was purified from the crude extract by preparative TLC, and its activity against biofouling bacteria was confirmed by bioautography. Based on the physico-chemical characteristics, the chemical structure of the antifouling compound PE7-C was identified as quercetin (C₁₅H₁₀O₇), a flavonoid class of compound with the molecular weight 302.23 g/mol. The purified quercetin was active against 18 biofouling bacteria with MIC range between 1.6 and 25 μg/ml, algal spore germination and mollusc foot adherence found at 100 μg/ml and 306 ± 19.6 μg ml⁻¹ respectively. The present study, for the first time, reported quercetin from marine-derived Streptomyces sp. PE7 with antifouling activity. This also leads to the repurposing of quercetin for the development of antifouling agent.
