Streptomonospora alba is a halophilic species of bacteria. [1] YIM 90003(T) (=CCTCC AA001013(T)=DSM 44588(T)) is the type strain. It is closest to Streptomonospora salina . Its genome sequence was reported in 2015. [2]

Description

Its aerial mycelium and substrate mycelium are well developed on most media. The aerial mycelium form short spore chains, bearing non-motile, straight to flexuous spores with wrinkled surfaces.

Metabolites

Streptomonospora alba was found to produce streptomonomicin, a lasso peptide antibiotic. [2] Streptomonomicin displayed selective antibacterial activity against bacteria of the Bacillota phylum, especially Bacillus anthracis , while being inactive against Pseudomonadota or Ascomycota.
