Details about Actinomycetes: NCBI 1760, high G+C gram-positive

  1. Antibiotic Production: Many actinomycetes are well-known for their ability to produce antibiotics. Streptomyces, a genus within the Actinobacteria phylum, is particularly famous for producing a variety of antibiotics, including streptomycin, tetracycline, and erythromycin. These antibiotics have been crucial in medicine for treating bacterial infections.

  2. Soil Decomposition: Actinobacteria play a vital role in the decomposition of organic matter in soil. They are important contributors to the nutrient cycling in ecosystems.

  3. Pathogenic Species: Some actinomycetes can be pathogenic and are associated with human diseases. For example, Actinomyces is a genus that includes species that can cause infections in humans, such as actinomycosis.

  4. Biocontrol Agents: Certain actinomycetes have been investigated for their potential as biocontrol agents in agriculture. They may help protect plants from harmful pathogens.

  5. Biotechnological Applications: Actinomycetes have been explored for various biotechnological applications, including the production of enzymes, bioactive compounds, and other industrial products.

Lab Reporting

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
