Conclusion
Streptomyces bacteria are crucial for antibiotic production and have complex biological systems that can be studied through advanced genomic technologies.
Supporting Evidence
- Streptomyces produce over half of the world's antibiotics.
- They play a key role in carbon recycling in soil.
- Streptomyces have complex gene regulatory networks that help them adapt to environmental changes.
Takeaway
Streptomyces are special bacteria that help make medicines and can change how they grow based on their environment. Scientists are using new tools to learn more about them.
Methodology
The review integrates findings from various -omics technologies to explore Streptomyces biology.
