Actinobacteria are Gram-positive bacteria with high G+ C DNA content that constitute one of
the largest bacterial phyla, and they are ubiquitously distributed in both aquatic and …

During the life cycle of the filamentous bacteria Streptomyces, morphological differentiation
is closely integrated with fundamental growth and cell-cycle processes, as well as with truly …

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

Streptomyces coelicolor is the genetically best characterized species of a populous genus
belonging to the gram-positive Actinobacteria. Streptomycetes are filamentous soil …

Strep. to. my'ces. Gr. adj. streptos pliant, bent; Gr. masc. n. mukês fungus; NL masc. n.
Streptomyces pliant or bent fungus. Actinobacteria/Actinobacteria/Streptomycetales …

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 …

The complex life cycle of streptomycetes involves two distinct filamentous cell forms: the
growing (or vegetative) hyphae and the reproductive (or aerial) hyphae, which differentiate …

Cells within Bacillus subtilis biofilms are held in place by an extracellular matrix that contains
cell‐anchored amyloid fibres, composed of the amyloidogenic protein TasA. As biofilms age …

Biofilms are ubiquitous in the natural and man-made environment. They are defined as
microbes that are encapsulated in an extracellular, self-produced, biofilm matrix. Growing …

The filamentous bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor differentiates by forming specialized,
spore-bearing aerial hyphae that grow into the air. Using microarrays, we identified genes …
