TL;DR: This study suggests that sponge and associated environment of western coast of India are rich in actinobacterial diversity with widespread predatory activity, antibacterial activity and production of enzyme inhibitors.

TL;DR: The principles and example shows that it is possible to infer causal pathways from cross sectional correlational data on three or more correlated variables on two or more inter-correlated variables.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic diversity of cultivable actinobacteria isolated from sponges (Haliclona spp.) and associated intertidal zone environments along the northern parts of the western coast of India were studied using 16S rRNA gene sequences.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic diversity of culturable actinobacterial isolated from the intertidal regions of west coast of Maharashtra, India was studied and showed that more putative species diversity was obtained from site with lower human intervention i.e Ade than from Harnai, a site with more human intervention.

TL;DR: In this experiment, a marine isolate of Streptomyces atrovirens showed good predatory activity on a range of species including Staphylococcus aureus and Proteus vulgaris, suggesting that the predator appears to show preference towards prey and in that case even a partial or relative resistance may give substantial advantage to a population.
