As the natural producer of acarbose, sp. SE50/110 has high industrial relevance. Like most Actinobacteria, the strain carries several more putative biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) to produce further natural products, which are to be discovered.

- A study investigates antibacterial and antivirulence compounds derived from bacterial metabolites, specifically focusing on enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), a major cause of intestinal infections in infants.
- Researchers examined marine actinobacteria from the Arctic Sea for their ability to inhibit EPEC's harmful effects on intestinal cells without affecting bacterial growth.
- Key discoveries include two promising compounds: one that interferes with EPEC's ability to alter actin polymerization and another that inhibits EPEC growth, highlighting the potential of marine bacteria as sources of new antimicrobial agents.
