Five Duganella sp. bacterial isolates that synthesize violacein were cultured from a central Pennsylvania waterway. Violacein has antimicrobial potential, including chytrid-killing effects, relevant to amphibian declines worldwide. Whole-genome analysis of these five microbial isolates may provide insights to better protect amphibian communities from fungal infections using bioremediation.
