Streptomyces peucetius is a bacterium species in the genus Streptomyces .

S. peucetius produces the anthracycline antitumor antibiotics daunorubicin and doxorubicin (also known as adriamycin).^[3] Recent work has identified an antibacterial macrolide, peucemycin, with activity against growth of S. aureus , P. hauseri , and S. enterica.^[4]
