Streptomonospora alba is a halophilic species of bacteria.[1] YIM 90003(T) (=CCTCC AA001013(T)=DSM 44588(T)) is the type strain. It is closest to Streptomonospora salina. Its genome sequence was reported in 2015.[2]
Description
Its aerial mycelium and substrate mycelium are well developed on most media. The aerial mycelium form short spore chains, bearing non-motile, straight to flexuous spores with wrinkled surfaces.
Metabolites
Streptomonospora alba was found to produce streptomonomicin, a lasso peptide antibiotic.[2] Streptomonomicin displayed selective antibacterial activity against bacteria of the Firmicutes phylum, especially Bacillus anthracis, while being inactive against Proteobacteria or Ascomycota.
