Analysis shows Rhodococcus erythropolis exhibits significant antimicrobial activity in isolates from mangroves, suggesting potential biotechnological applications.
Actinobacteria isolated from the mangrove ecosystem of Nizampatnam, located in Andhra Pradesh, India was analyzed for its antibacterial and antifungal activity. The soil samples were treated with calcium carbonate, followed by serial dilution and spread on the surface of International Streptomyces Project media (ISP). The strain JPVL-3 with potent antimicrobial activity was further studied for identification based on morphological, cultural, physiological and biochemical methods and found to be Rhodococcus erythropolis. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S r RNA gene sequence results obtained for strain JPVL-3 showed clade with the Rhodococcus 16S rRNA phylogenetic tree, which is closely related to Rhodococcus erythropolis.
