Streptomyces inside-out: a new perspective on the bacteria that provide us with antibiotics Many of the antibiotics used today are made by a group of bacteria called Streptomyces. Streptomycetes evolved about 450 million years ago as branched filamentous organisms adapted to the utilization of plant remains. They reproduce by sending up specialized ...

Master plating has begun. We love it and it looks like our soil microbes do, too!

A Novel Alkaliphilic Streptomyces Inhibits ESKAPE Pathogens In an effort to stem the rising tide of multi-resistant bacteria, researchers have turned to niche environments in the hope of discovering new varieties of antibiotics. We investigated an ethnopharmacological (cure) from an alkaline/radon soil in the area of Boho, in the Fermanagh Scarplands (N. Ire...
