Abstract
A review is presented of the nutritional requirements and physiology of actinomycetes, with special emphasis on: (a) selective isolation of unusual forms; (b) colonial morphogenesis and induction of sporulation; (c) biosynthesis of secondary metabolites of value, with particular reference to antibiotics and industrial enzymes. The future potential of actinomycetes as major contributors of useful bioactive metabolites is also indicated.Year: 1991 PMID: 24424929 DOI: 10.1007/BF00328987
