Genetic and phenotypic traits of streptomycetes used to characterize antibiotic activities of field-collected microbes.

Abstract excerpt

Although antibiotic production may contribute significantly to microbial fitness, there is limited information on the ecology of antibiotic-producing microbial populations in soil. Indeed, quantitative information on the variation in frequency and intensity of specific antibiotic inhibitory and resistance abilities within soil microbial communities is lacking. Among the streptomycetes, antibiotic production is...
