Streptomycetes, soil-dwelling mycelial bacteria that form sporulating aerial branches, have
an exceptionally large number of predicted secreted proteins, including many exported via …

The nucleotide second messenger 3′-5′ cyclic diguanylate monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is

Streptomycetes exhibit a complex morphological differentiation. After a submerged
mycelium has been formed, filaments grow into the air to septate into spores. A class of eight …

Streptomycetes form hydrophobic aerial hyphae that eventually septate into hydrophobic
spores. Both aerial hyphae and spores possess a typical surface layer called the rodlet …

The chaplin proteins ChpA‐H enable the filamentous bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor to
form reproductive aerial structures by assembling into surface‐active amyloid‐like fibrils. We …

The actinomycetes are well-known bioactive natural product producers, comprising the
Streptomycetes, the richest drug-prolific family in all kingdoms, producing therapeutic …

Cellulose synthase and cellulose synthase-like proteins, responsible for synthesizing β-
glucan-containing polysaccharides, play a fundamental role in cellular architectures, such …

Streptomyces lividans displays a distinct dependence on copper to fully initiate
morphological development. Evidence has accumulated to implicate the participation of an …

Development-associated cell-death processes were investigated in detail during the growth
and differentiation of Streptomyces antibioticus ATCC 11891 on confluent surface cultures …
