Streptomyces Plicatus
''Streptomyces rochei'' is a bacterium species from the genus of ''Streptomyces'' which has been isolated from soil in Russia.Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturenbr>/ref> ''Streptomyces rochei'' produces borrelidin, butyrolactol A, butyrolactol B, uricase and streptothricin. ''Streptomyces rochei'' has antifungal activity against ''Fusarium oxysporum'' f.sp. ''lycopersici'' and ''Aspergillus fumigatus''. ''Streptomyces rochei'' produces moenomycin and bambermycin. ''Streptomyces rochei'' produces amicetin A, amicetin B, amicetin C and streptolin. ''Streptomyces rochei'' produces endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase mithramycin, amicetin, bamicetin, and plicacetin.

Streptomyces
''Streptomyces'' is the largest genus of Actinomycetota and the type genus of the family Streptomycetaceae. Over 500 species of ''Streptomyces'' bacteria have been described. As with the other Actinomycetota, streptomycetes are gram-positive, and have genomes with high GC content. Found predominantly in soil and decaying vegetation, most streptomycetes produce spores, and are noted for their distinct "earthy" odor that results from production of a volatile metabolite, geosmin. Streptomycetes are characterised by a complex secondary metabolism. They produce over two-thirds of the clinically useful antibiotics of natural origin (e.g., neomycin, streptomycin, cypemycin, grisemycin, bottromycins and chloramphenicol). The antibiotic streptomycin takes its name directly from ''Streptomyces''. Streptomycetes are infrequent pathogens, though infections in humans, such as mycetoma, can be caused by '' S. somaliensis'' and '' S. sudanensis'', and in plants can be caused by ...

Mithramycin
Plicamycin (INN, also known as mithramycin; trade name Mithracin) is an antineoplastic antibiotic produced by ''Streptomyces plicatus''. It is an RNA synthesis inhibitor. The manufacturer discontinued production in 2000. Several different structures are currently reported in different places all with the same chromomycin core, but with different stereochemistry in the glycoside chain, a 1999 study has re-investigated the compound and proposed a revised structure. Uses Plicamycin has been used in the treatment of testicular cancer, Paget's disease of bone, and, rarely, the management of hypercalcemia. Plicamycin has been tested in chronic myeloid leukemia. Plicamycin is currently used in multiple areas of research, including cancer cell apoptosis and as a metastasis inhibitor. One elucidated pathway shows it interacts by cross-binding chromatin GC-rich promoter motifs, thereby inhibiting gene transcription Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA. ...

Bambermycin
Bambermycin (flavomycin) is a complex of antibiotics obtained from ''Streptomyces bambergiensis'' and ''Streptomyces ghanaensis'' used as a food additive for beef cattle, dairy cattle, poultry and Domestic pig, swine. The complex consists mainly of Moenomycin Family Antibiotics, moenomycins A and C. Bambermycin is a growth promoter, performance-enhancing antibiotic intended and available solely for use in animal nutrition. Its mechanism of action is to inhibit the synthesis of the bacterial wall. Bambermycin is predominantly effective against Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria. However, it does not have significant action against ''Lactobacillus'', ''Bifidobacterium'', and other protective bacteria. Bambermycin has no precautions or warnings to humans on its label pertaining to mixing and handling and is non-hazardous when used according to label directions. Bambermycin has no withdrawal requirement. Bambermycin is not absorbed by the intestine and no measurable residues are foun ...

Russia
Russia (, , ), or the Russian Federation, is a transcontinental country spanning Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. It is the largest country in the world, with its internationally recognised territory covering , and encompassing one-eighth of Earth's inhabitable landmass. Russia extends across eleven time zones and shares land boundaries with fourteen countries, more than any other country but China. It is the world's ninth-most populous country and Europe's most populous country, with a population of 146 million people. The country's capital and largest city is Moscow, the largest city entirely within Europe. Saint Petersburg is Russia's cultural centre and second-largest city. Other major urban areas include Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, and Kazan. The East Slavs emerged as a recognisable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries CE. Kievan Rus' arose as a state in the 9th century, and in 988, it adopted Orthodox Christianity from the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
