Streptomyces
n a genus of gram-positive, funguslike bacteria belonging to the order actinomycetales. Several antibiotics, such as tetracyclines and aminoglycosides, are produced from them.
Streptomyces
a genus of nonpathogenic soil bacteria, but occasionally parasitic on plants and animals. Notable as the source of various antibiotics, e.g. the tetracyclines, erythromycin (S. erythreus), lincomycin (S. lincolnensis), tylosin (S. fradiae), rifampin (S. mediterranei), amphotericin B (S. nodosus) and monensin (S. cinnamonensis).
