Streptomyces - Wikipedia
Streptomyces is the largest antibiotic-producing genus, producing antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic drugs, and also a wide range of other bioactive compounds, such as immunosuppressants. [36]
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 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.
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 are gram positive, spore-forming bacteria found in soil. They are characterized by their tough, leathery, frequently pigmented colonies and their filamentous growth.
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 - 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.

Streptomyces griseus - Wikipedia
Streptomyces griseus is a species of bacteria in the genus Streptomyces commonly found in soil. A few strains have been also reported from deep-sea sediments. It is a Gram-positive bacterium with high GC content.Along with most other streptomycetes, S. griseus strains are well known producers of antibiotics and other such commercially significant secondary metabolites.
