What eats actinomycetes?
other higher fungi
How actinomycetes related to drought stress?
Actinomycetes are dominant in arid environments and prefer neutral to alkaline pH for their growth. Among actinomycetes most domianant genera is Streptomyces (~90%). The actinomycetes even though produce spores but are not heat resistant. These spores help in perpetuation of actinomycetes and few of the actinomycetes are known for secondary metabolite production and exopolysaccharides. Actinomycetes are known for production of siderophores, antibiotics, IAA, GA etc. They are found in the rhizosphere and few actinomycetes are endophytes tooo!!!. This traits help actinomycetes to survive in rhizopshre and hel in alleviating drought stress.
How are actinomycetes differ from fungi?
Actinomycetes are a phylum of bacteria. They include soil dwelling organisms and pathogens.
Are there actinomycetes in Antarctica?
Yes, there are several published reports of actinomycetes being isolated from Antarctica
Are actinomycetes decomposers?
Yes, they are.
Isolation media for actinomycetes?
the most recognized media for isolation of actinomycetes are starch casein and oat meal
What is difference between bacteria fungi and actinomycetes?
Very simple...actinomycetes lies between bacteria and fungi. It was first considered to be fungi by looking the morphological features like hyphae, spore formation etc. But then when they looked into the DNA, the GC content of actinomycetes was less than that of fungi and was slightly more than that of bacteria. So actinomycetes were called as filamentous gram positive bacteria.
What is the name of the bacteria which increase the fertility of soil?
actinomycetes
