Streptomyces narboensis [3]

Streptomyces narbonensis is a species of Gram-positive actinomycete from the genus Streptomyces . It was first isolated from soil in France in 1955. [3] [1] [4] Like many members of its genus, it is notable for producing secondary metabolites, including the macrolide antibiotics narbomycin and josamycin. [4] [5] [6] [7]

Taxonomy

S. narbonensis was described by Corbaz and colleagues in 1955 during surveys of soil actinomycetes in France. The species is placed in the family Streptomycetaceae, order Streptomycetales, phylum Actinomycetota. [1]

Morphology and physiology

S. narbonensis shares the typical characteristics of the genus Streptomyces: it is a filamentous bacterium forming a branching substrate mycelium and an aerial mycelium that bears chains of spores. Colonies generally appear chalky or powdery due to spore formation. The organism is aerobic, Gram-positive, and exhibits high G+C content in its DNA. It produces a range of hydrolytic enzymes and grows well on common laboratory media used for actinomycetes. [8]

Ecology

Like most Streptomyces species, S. narbonensis is a saprotroph widely distributed in soil, where it contributes to the decomposition of organic matter. Its metabolic versatility and ability to produce antibiotics allow it to compete with other soil microorganisms. Strains have been studied for their ability to produce extracellular enzymes and for their potential in biotechnology. [4]
