Actinobacteria are renowned for their prolific production of diverse bioactive secondary metabolites. In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on exploring "rare" genera within this phylum for biodiscovery purposes, notably the Nocardiopsis genus, which will be the subject of the present study. Recognizing the absence of articles describing the research process of finding bioactive molecules from the genus Nocardiopsis in North African environments.

Hence, this study investigated the presence of extended-spectrum and AmpC β-lactamases (ESBL/AmpC)-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) and the dissemination of mcr-1 in ESBL-E from ready-to-eat food samples (RTE) in Algeria. RTE food samples (n = 204) were aseptically collected and selectively cultured using MacConkey agar.

We combined metabolomic, molecular networking, and genomic-based approaches to investigate the metabolic potential of the sp. RO-S4 strain isolated from the polluted waters of Bejaia Bay in Algeria.

Methods And Results: Different selective media and methods were used, leading to the isolation of 103 actinomycete strains. The number of strains was influenced by isolation procedures and their interactions based on a three-way ANOVA and a post hoc Tukey test, which revealed that using M2 medium, dilution of samples followed by moderate heat treatment, and sampling at 10-20 m yielded the highest numbers of actinomycetes.
