A marine actinomycete strain, RSPSN2, was isolated from soil sediments in Visakhapatnam and found to be highly potent in producing antimicrobial compounds.
The strain shares 96% genetic similarity with known strains of Streptomyces parvulus, and various characterization and purification techniques were employed to analyze its properties.
The study confirmed that RSPSN2 produces Actinomycin D, an effective antibiotic against several pathogenic bacteria, including strains resistant to streptomycin.
