Identification of four novel Streptomyces isolated from machair grassland soil using a culture-based bioprospecting strategy: Streptomyces caledonius sp. nov., Streptomyces machairae sp. nov., Streptomyces pratisoli sp. nov. and Streptomyces achmelvichensis sp. nov.

Abstract excerpt

A culture-dependent bioprospecting strategy, based on the use of several selective isolation media, revealed the presence of relatively high numbers of streptomycete-like colonies from machair grassland soil, in which carbonate minerals dominate. Representatives were shown to be bioactive in primary and secondary antimicrobial screens conducted through standard plug assays. The comparison of the whole-genome...
