The genus Nocardia as a source of new antimicrobials.

The genus Nocardia comprises over 130 species of soil-dwelling actinomycetes, many of which are opportunistic pathogens. Beyond their pathogenicity, Nocardia exhibits significant biosynthetic potential, producing an array of diverse antimicrobial secondary metabolites. This review highlights notable examples of these compounds and explores modern approaches to unlocking their untapped biosynthetic potential.

Plant growth-promoting properties of spp. isolates and their impact on mung bean plantlets' rhizosphere microbiome.

is an important, highly destructive pathogen of many plants, which causes considerable crop loss, especially durians in Thailand. In this study, we selectively isolated from the rhizosphere soil with a potent anti-oomycete activity against CbP03. Two strains (SNN087 and SNN289) demonstrated exceptional plant growth-promoting properties in pot experiment.
