Streptomyces | Antibiotic Production, Soil Microbe
Streptomyces, genus of filamentous bacteria of the family Streptomycetaceae (order Actinomycetales) that includes more than 500 species occurring in soil and water. Many species are important in the decomposition of organic matter in soil, contributing in part to the earthy odour of soil and decaying leaves and to the fertility of soil.
Streptomyces - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Streptomyces species are widespread environmental bacteria, distributed in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems (deserts, ice in South Pole, insects, plants, lakes, seas, oceans) with soil, fodder, and compost as their primary habitat.
Streptomyces - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Streptomyces is a filamentous bacteria representing the family Streptomycetaceae and order Actinomycetales that includes more than 500 species occurring mainly in rhizospheric soil, marine and inland water. It is well known for its prolific production of beneficial bioactive compounds.
Recent advances in understanding Streptomyces - PMC
Ecologically, streptomycetes have key roles in the natural recycling of the globally abundant cell walls of fungi and plants. Some of them have evolved intimate partnerships with insects or plants, and a few have acquired pathogenic attributes.
Streptomyces inside-out: a new perspective on the bacteria that …
Streptomycetes are the most important source of antibiotics for medical, veterinary and agricultural use. They belong to a class of bacteria of considerable interest to human welfare that are known as actinomycetes.
Streptomyces: The biofactory of secondary metabolites - PMC
Streptomyces produce a variety of natural products with high structural diversity, including macrolides, tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, glycopeptides, ansamycins, and terpenes. For example, Streptomyces hygroscopicus secretes around 180 metabolites with a …

2025年1月12日 · Explore how different growth media impact the diverse morphological traits of Streptomyces colonies, including pigmentation and mycelium formation. Streptomyces, a genus of Gram-positive bacteria, is renowned for its production of antibiotics and …
Streptomyces - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Streptomyces are non-motile, saprophytic Gram-positive prokaryotes that are important as commercial producers of antibiotics. They possess a large (between 6 and 10 Mb) linear chromosome. Growth is by hyphal tip extension and branching, with subsequent erection of sporulating aerial hyphae.
The Streptomycetes are gram positive bacteria with a filamentous form that present in a wide variety of soil including composts, water and plants. The most characteristic of Streptomycetes is the ability to produce secondary metabolites such as antibiotics.
