Antimicrobial properties of the novel bacterial isolate Paenibacilllus sp. SMB1 from a halo-alkaline lake in India.

ABSTRACT: Antibiotic-resistance is ever growing burden on our society for the past many years. Many synthetic chemistry approaches and rational drug-design have been unable to pace up and tackle this problem. Natural resources, more specifically, the microbial diversity, on the other hand, make a traditional and still the best platform to search for new chemical scaffolds and compounds. Here, we report the antimicrobial characteristics of novel bacterial isolate from a salt lake in India. We screened the bacterial isolates for their inhibitory activity against indicator bacteria and found that four novel species were able to prevent the growth of test strains studied in vitro. Further, we characterized one novel species (SMB1^T = SL4-2) using polyphasic taxonomic approaches and also purifi
