Microbial biotechnology employs techniques that rely on the natural interactions that occur in ecosystems. Bacteria, including rhizobacteria, play an important role in plant growth, providing crops with an alternative that can mitigate the negative effects of abiotic stress, such as those caused by saline environments, and increase the excessive use of chemical fertilizers. The present study examined the promoting potential of bacterial isolates obtained from the rhizospheric soil and roots of the Asparagus officinalis cultivar UF-157 F2 in Viru, la Libertad, Peru.

A polyphasic approach was applied to characterize taxonomically a novel endophytic bacterial strain, designated as EP178, which was previously isolated from Passiflora incarnata leaves and characterized as plant-growth promoter. The strain EP178 forms Gram stain-negative and rod-shaped cells, and circular and yellow-pigmented colonies. Its growth occurs at 10-37 °C, at pH 6.

Article Synopsis
  • The rise of antimicrobial resistance highlights the urgent need for new antimicrobial agents, with Actinobacteria, especially the Streptomyces genus, being key producers of antibiotics and anti-cancer drugs.
  • This study identified Streptomyces albidoflavus ANT_B131 from Antarctica, which showed effective antimicrobial and antiproliferative activities against various pathogens and human tumor cell lines.
  • Whole-genome sequencing revealed 24 biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in the bacterium, with the use of different culture media and extraction methods leading to a better expression and recovery of these natural products.

Microbial biotechnology employes techniques that rely based on the natural interactions that occur in ecosystems. Bacteria, including rhizobacteria, play an important role in plant growth, providing agricultural crops with an alternative that can mitigate the negative effects of abiotic stress, such as those caused by saline environments. In this study, bacterial isolates were obtained from soil and roots of Prosopis limensis Bentham from the department of Lambayeque, Peru.

Sinningia is a genus of plants of Gesneriaceae family with species native to Brazil and is a source of several classes of bioactive secondary metabolites, such as quinones, terpenoids, flavonoids, and phenylethanoid glycosides. However, the diversity of endophytic microorganisms associated with them and the impact of endophytes on the biosynthesis of bioactive substances is unknown. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the microbial diversity, behavior, and frequency of endophytes in leaves blades of S.
