Isolation and Identification of a Strain of Micromonospora with Broad-spectrum Antimicrobial Activity

Abstract:

A rare strain of actinomycetes, with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, was isolated from the soil samples from the farmland in the area of Yaohu lake in Nanchang. The information about the taxonomic identification, such as the morphology, physiological properties, cell components and 16S rRNA gene sequences, suggested that the rare strain of actinomycetes was identified as Micromonospora carbonacea.
