Streptomyces lividans. Macrophotograph of a colony of the soil bacteria Streptomyces lividans,cultured in the laboratory. Various degrees of pigmentation occur,as seen here,produced by the bacterial growth itself & due to pigmented spores. Streptomyces species naturally produce a number of antibiotics,including streptomycin. As members of the group Actinomycetes,they share many characteristics with fungi. These bacteria grow in soil as a branching network of filaments known as a mycelium. They also produce aerial branches,containing chains of spores which rupture when mature and are dispersed on the wind | |
