Marine Actinomycete Genome sequencing and assembly
These three strains of novel marine actinomycetes, associated with the Caribbean giant barrel sponge, Xestospongia muta, exhibited consistent growth-inhibition against several Mycobacterium species, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra. Genomic analysis was performed to investigate biosynthetic gene clusters implicated in the anti-tubercular activity.
