Abstract

Genomic features of Staphylococcus auricularis PAPLE_T1 isolated from waste sample of Carica papaya obtained from Lagos State, Nigeria, revealed its putative capability to synthesize valuable secondary metabolites. S. auricularis PAPLE_T1 has a 2.4 Mb genome and could be useful as biological agro-antibiotics, for soil bioremediation and in biotechnological industry.

Keywords: agro-antibiotics; biotechnology; environmental reclamation; pathways and soil bioremediation.
