What else can I help you with?
What does fungi produce and doctors prescribe?
Antibiotics
Do plant cells produce antibiotics?
YES!
How might taxonomy aid a drug company?
A drug company might use taxonomy to identify species similar to those known to produce antibiotics in the hopes that the similar species might also produce beneficial antibiotics.
How did the study of microbes enable us to develop antibiotics?
Some bacteria, most notably species in the genus Streptomyces and Actinomycetes produce antibiotics as secondary metabolites. Aside from bacteria, some fungi such as Penicillium produce antibiotics as well. Scientists were then able to purify the antibiotics produced from the microbes for clinical purposes.
Which microorganism produce streptomycin?
Streptomycin is produced by the bacterium Streptomyces griseus. This actinobacterium is known for its ability to produce a variety of antibiotics and is commonly found in soil. Streptomycin was one of the first antibiotics used to treat tuberculosis and is part of the aminoglycoside class of antibiotics.
What group of organisms were first used to produce antibiotics?
penicilline
What value is the antibiotics that fungi produce?
Antibiotics can save animals and people's lives by killing the bad bacteria in their bodies that are infecting them.
What are called certain molds and soil bacteria produce bacteria killing substances?
antibioitcs
Why are antibiotics made by fungi and bacteria?
Fungi and bacteria produce antibiotics as a defense mechanism against other microorganisms in their environment. These antibiotics help them compete for resources and survive in their ecological niche. Humans have harnessed this microbial warfare for medical purposes to combat bacterial infections.
Does orgamisms classify as bacteria have cells with a true nucleus?
no
One mold that can produce useful antibiotics is called?
penicillium
What macromolecule is responsible for directing growth in living orgamisms?
Proteins
