The genus Micromonospora has been found in nodules of several legumes and some new species of this genus were isolated from these plant organs. In this study we analysed the taxonomic diversity of Micromonospora strains isolated from alfalfa nodules in Spain and Australia on the basis of three phylogenetic markers, the rrs and gyrB genes and 16S-23S intergenic spacer (ITS). The genome analysis of selected strains representative of different clusters or lineages found after rrs, gyrB and ITS analyses confirmed the results obtained with these phylogenetic markers. They showed that the analysed strains belong to at least 18 Micromonospora species including previously described ones, such as Micromonospora noduli, Micromonospora ureilytica, Micromonospora taraxaci, Micromonospora zamorensis, Micromonospora aurantiaca and Micromonospora tulbaghiae. Most of these strains belong to undescribed species of Micromonospora showing the high taxonomic diversity of strains from this genus inhabiting alfalfa nodules. Although Micromonospora strains are not able to induce the formation of these nodules, and it seems that they do not contribute to fix atmospheric nitrogen, they could play a role related with the mechanisms of plant growth promotion and pathogen protection presented by Micromonospora strains isolated from legume nodules.

This study re-evaluates Pseudofrankia strains, traditionally regarded as parasitic dwellers of actinorhizal root nodules due to their inability to fix nitrogen (Fix -) and/or nodulate (Nod -), as potential plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). We compared plant growth-promoting traits (PGPTs) between Pseudofrankia strains, including one newly sequenced strain BMG5.37 in this study and typical (Fix + /Nod +) Frankia, Protofrankia, and Parafrankia, as well as non-frankia actinorhizal species Nocardia and Micromonospora, and the phytopathogenic Streptomyces.

Article Synopsis
- - The study highlights the urgent issue of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which poses a global health threat.
- - Researchers discovered eight new compounds called arenicolides from a bacterium found in the gut of black oil beetles, including arenicolide A (Ar-A), which exhibits strong antimicrobial activity against MDR and XDR strains of Mtb.
- - Ar-A effectively weakens the Mtb cell wall and depletes ATP, showing significant potential as a treatment for drug-resistant tuberculosis, especially when combined with the antibiotic amikacin in mice.
