CHECK THESE SAMPLES OF Antibiotic Streptomycin
Some of the important antibiotics of streptomyces include streptomycin, neomycin, chloramphenicol... When the treptomyces species was co cultured it was found that the metabolites excreted by one strain stimulated the production of the antibiotic in the other.... Similarly the use of the phosphate, the important precursor of the PPP shunt also increased the production of the antibiotic and it also helped to analyze the effect of the co culturing of the strains....

Thus it holds a prominent position due to their diversity and proven ability to produce new compounds, because discovery of novel antibiotic and non-antibiotic lead molecules through microbial secondary metabolite screening is becoming increasingly important.... Actinomycetes are phylogenetically related from the evidence of 16S ribosomal cataloguing and DNA:rDNA pairing studies and they are gram-positive bacteria, with high guanine (g) plus cytosine (c) ratio in their DNA above 55% by mole (Goodfellow and Williams, 1983)....
