Whole genome sequence analysis of orange pigment producing actinobacteria Micromonospora sp. nov. strain SH-82 isolated from a marine sponge Scopalina hapalia

Microbial pigments originated from marine sources have been a promising alternative for biomedical, textile, and food industries. However, marine pigmented bacteria, particularly pigmented actinobacteria are still under explored in terms of taxonomy and applications. In this study, an orange pigment producing, Gram-stain positive actinobacteria Micromonospora sp. strain SH-82 was isolated from a marine sponge Scopalina hapalia and whole genome was analyzed
