Streptomyces sp. SS produces a series of uridyl peptide antibiotic sansanmycins. Here, we present a draft genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. SS containing the biosynthetic gene cluster for the antibiotics. The identification of the biosynthetic gene cluster of sansanmycins may provide further insight into biosynthetic mechanisms for uridyl peptide antibiotics.

Neoviridogriseins, new homologues of viridogrisein, were produced with viridogrisein and griseoviridin by Streptomyces sp. P8648 which was identified as a strain of Streptomyces griseoviridus.

Twenty-seven endophytic actinomycete strains were isolated from five spontaneous plants well adapted to the poor sandy soil and arid climatic conditions of the Algerian Sahara. Morphological and chemotaxonomical analysis indicated that twenty-two isolates belonged to the Streptomyces genus and the remaining five were nonStreptomyces. All endophytic strains were screened for their ability to pro...

Streptomyces sp. JAJ06 is a seawater-dependent antibiotic producer, previously isolated and characterised from an Indian coastal solar saltern. This paper reports replacement of seawater with a defined salt formulation in production medium and subsequent statistical media optimization to ensure consistent as well as improved antibiotic production by Streptomyces sp. JAJ06. This strain was obser...

The nutritional requirements and environmental conditions for a submerged culture of Streptomyces sp. 8812 were determined. Batch and fed-batch Streptomyces sp. 8812 fermentations were conducted to obtain high activity of secondary metabolites. In the study several factors were examined for their influence on the biosynthesis of the active metabolites-7-hydroxy-6-oxo-2,3,4,6-tetrahydroisoquinol...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antagonistic activity of marine Streptomyces sp. VITBRK1 against Methicillin resistance Staphylococcus aures (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE). Drug resistance by Bacterial pathogens do exhibit significant tolerance to standard antimicrobials during infections and drug resistance currently a growing problem worldwide. A total of 1...

Ginseng damping-off, caused by the fungal pathogens Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium sp., is a critical disease in ginseng seedling. In a continuing effort to find microorganisms with the potential of acting as a biocontrol agent against Rhizoctonia damping-off, we found that a Streptomyces sp. A501 showed significant antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia solani. In field experiment to test the...
