The genus Streptomyces is widely recognized for its biotechnological potential. Due to a need to improve crops, clean up the environment and produce novel antimicrobial molecules exploiting Streptomyces has become a priority. To further explore the biotechnological potential of these organisms we analyzed the genome of the strain Streptomyces sp. Z38 isolated from contaminated roots tissues. Our analysis not only confirmed the ability of the strain to produce plant growth promoting traits but also a range of mechanisms to cope with the toxic effect of heavy metals through genes involved in metal homeostasis and oxidative stress response. The production of silver nanoparticles indicated that Streptomyces sp. Z38 may find utility in Green, Grey and Red biotechnology.

The aims of this study were (1) to isolate new multi-resistant actinobacteria from soil, rhizosphere and plant samples collected from an ancient illegal pesticide storage and (2) to elucidate the effects of these microorganisms developed with maize root exudates on lindane and Cr(VI) removal. Fifty-seven phenotypically different actinobacteria were isolated and four of them, belonging to the genus Streptomyces exhibit tolerance to a mixture of lindane and Cr(VI). Two rhizospheric strains named as Streptomyces sp.
