Metabolites from the soft coral -associated bacterium \(\textit{Micrococcus}\) sp. strain a-2-28

The marine actinomyces Micrococcus was the most common bacterium among isolates corals, sponges, and alga isolates. Only a few investigations of natural compounds from sp. were reported previously. This study implicated soft coral-associated strain A-2-28 (following relative flavus LW4T) for large-scale cultivation, chemical analyses, biological activities. Whereas crude extract inhibited only Staphylococcus epidermidis, metabolites profiles pure showed that this produced phytohormone (IAA), metabolized some new which almost inactive tests. work suggested it is possible to plan strategy improving coral health resilience though their associated microbial.
