MIGS Cultured Bacterial/Archaeal sample from Micrococcus luteus sp. rhizophilus subsp.
Micrococcus luteus KDCGSN
This study involves whole genome sequencing and assembly of a novel bacterial isolate, strain KDCGSN, closely related to Micrococcus luteus, collected from the rhizosphere of Rhizophora apiculata roots in the Sundarbans mangrove ecosystem of India. The isolate displays strong antimicrobial activity and harbors unique biosynthetic gene clusters potentially responsible for novel secondary metabolite production. The goal of this research is to explore the taxonomic position of the isolate, propose it as a novel subspecies (Micrococcus luteus subsp. rhizophilus), and investigate its genome for genes involved in antimicrobial biosynthesis. This work contributes to microbial taxonomy, natural product discovery, and bioprospecting of mangrove-associated bacteria.
