Streptomyces albus isolated from a human actinomycetoma and characterized by molecular techniques.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Streptomyces albus forearm actinomycetoma that could not be identified by culture was properly identified at the species level by study of an internal fragment of the heat shock protein gene, comparative sequence analysis of 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA), and the hypervariable gamma-region of the 16S rDNA.

Background: Streptomyces is one of the most important prokaryotic microorganisms, and their secondary metabolites have high antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties. Three-quarters of the antibiotics known to be produced by these bacteria. As a result, finding new effective compounds from these microorganisms can be a way to treat cancer. The aim of this study was to isolate and screen halophilic...
