Streptomyces is the largest genus of Actinobacteria and the type genus of the family Streptomycetaceae. Over 500 species of Streptomyces bacteria have been described. As with the other Actinobacteria, 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.
Crinipellis is a genus of fungus in the family Marasmiaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains about 65 species. It was circumscribed by French mycologist Narcisse Théophile Patouillard in 1889.
Pusionella ghanaensis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Clavatulidae.
Pusionella is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Clavatulidae.
Crinipellis zonata, commonly known as the zoned Crinipellis or the zoned-cap Collybia, is a species of gilled mushroom in the Marasmiaceae family. Though considered a little brown mushroom of unknown edibility, it is distinctive because of its thick covering of coarse hairs, and differentiated from other members of Crinipellis by its slightly larger cap size, which reaches up to 25 mm (1.0 in) in diameter. The white gills on the underside of the cap are crowded closely together, and are free from attachment to the stem. Saprobic, it grows on the dead wood of deciduous trees from late summer to autumn. The fungus is found commonly in eastern North America, but has also been collected in Portugal and Korea. The variety C. zonata var. cremoricolor, found in eastern North America, may be distinguished microscopically by its longer spores.
Trachyuropodidae is a family of mites in the order Mesostigmata.
Euphaedra splendens, the splendid Themis forester, is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and the Republic of the Congo. The habitat consists of wetter forests.
Bambermycin (flavomycin) is a complex of antibiotics obtained from Streptomyces bambergiensis and Streptomyces ghanaensis used as a food additive for poultry and swine. The complex consists mainly of moenomycins A and C.
Desmiphorini is a tribe of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.
Ropica is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
Parafreoides ghanaensis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, and the only species in the genus Parafreoides. It was described by Breuning in 1975.
Metallographeus is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Eunidia is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.

Streptomyces ghanaensis is a bacterium species from the genus of Streptomyces which has been isolated from soil in Ghana. Streptomyces ghanaensis produces moenomycin A, a component of bambermycin.
Metallographeus albolineatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Breuning in 1970.
