Sesquiterpenes, a class of terpenes, consist of three isoprene units, constituting a highly diverse class of natural bioactive compounds that are found principally in plants but also in fungi and some invertebrates and myxobacteria as well. In this study, by using different approaches for isolation, analysis of morphology and bio-physio-chemical properties and comparison of the sequences of 16S ribosomal RNA genes, three strains belonging to the group of myxobacteria were isolated from soil samples collected from some areas in Vietnam. The sesquiterpene biosynthesis in the isolated strains was investigated. The data showed that the isolated strain DL1 was able to form fruiting body and sysnthesize an eremophilene-like sesquiterpene.
