Abstract:
We isolated three organisms from pond sediment with activity against Bacillus subtilis and/or Staphylococcus aureus. Isolates were identified as Priestia megaterium (MBIO4670.03), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MBIO4670.02), and a Pseudomonas sp. in the putida group (MBIO4670.08). Each isolate contains one or more biosynthetic gene clusters potentially contributing to the observed antimicrobial phenotype.
