We prompted to characterize a wastewater bacterium, Pseudoxanthomonas mexicana GTZY, that efficiently transforms toxic mercury and arsenic, explores its bioremediation capability, and reveals their relevant gene resistance operons. The isolated strain was characterized by its phylogenetic, biochemical, and phenotypic properties. The strain GTZY potentially removed 84.

Background: Actinomycetes particularly, Streptomyces species are producing wide variety of natural products with potential bioactivities. The microbial-derived metabolites hold a strong position to combat emerging and re-emerging antimicrobial drug-resistant pathogens.

Objectives: A diverse group of actinomycetes strains were isolated from unexplored regions of mangrove sediment.

Due to the emergence of severe infectious diseases and thriving antibiotic resistance, there is a need to explore microbial-derived bioactive secondary metabolites from unexplored regions. Present study deals with a mangrove estuary derived strain of Streptomyces sp. with potent antimicrobial activity against various pathogens, including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
