Anti-Tuberculous Activity of Treponemycin Produced by a Streptomyces Strain MS-6-6 Isolated from Saudi Arabia

A Streptomyces strain MS-6-6 with promising anti-tuberculous activity was isolated from soil samples in Saudi Arabia. The nucleotide sequence of its 16S rRNA gene (1426 bp) evidenced a 100% similarity to Streptomyces mutabilis. Through an anti-tuberculous activity-guided approach, a polyketide macro...
