Streptomycetes Of Sandy Biotopes At Various Stages Of Natural Overgrowth
K. I. Andreyuk; H. V. Valagurova & K. A. Myatlikova
Abstract
Members of the genus Streptomyces play an important role in
the contamination of lifeless sandy substrates. This is the
result not only of their mycelial structure but also of their
high ecological plasticity. Streptomycetes are characterized
by a wide range of trophical abilities that permit them to
adapt to various conditions of the environment and at the same
time influence it. The ability of streptomycetes to synthesize
biologically active compounds including antibiotics, vitamins
and other metabolites permits them to serve as a factor
regulating the composition of the microbial community at
various stages of the primary succession of microbial
coenosis.
