“…In Table 3 , we depict novel heavy metal-resistant species which were isolated from metal-contaminated areas. The literature review ( Table S1 : List of strains from heavy metal-contaminated areas) suggests that many Streptomyces species with unique characteristics were isolated from soils of metal-contaminated areas [ 32 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 ]. For example, Schmidt et al isolated streptomycetes highly resistant to nickel from a polluted site at the former uranium mine [ 57 ].…”
