Secondary Metabolite Biosynthesis Potential of Streptomyces Spp. from the Rhizosphere of Leontopodium nivale Subsp. alpinum.

ABSTRACT: Bacteria of the phylum Actinomycetota, particularly those of the genus Streptomyces, are prolific producers of secondary metabolites (SMs), many of which have been developed into antibiotics, immunosuppressants, and cancer therapeutics. With high rediscovery rates, the attention has shifted to Streptomyces from unique ecological niches for the discovery of new SMs. The plant rhizosphere is one such niche, characterized by complex chemical interactions between the plant and its rhizobiome, which can elicit the production of SMs in Streptomyces. In the present study, 18 Streptomyces strains were previously isolated from the rhizosphere of the rare alpine medicinal plant Leontopodium nivale subsp. alpinum were investigated for their capacity to produc
