Chemotaxonomic and numerical identification were carried out for a isolate of Streptomyces strain SMF301 producing spores in submerged culture. Fifty taxonomic unit characters were tested and the data were analyzed numerically using the TAXON program. The isolate SMF301 was identified to cluster 1A of Streptomyces and best matched to Streptomyces limosus which is a synonym of Streptomyces albidoflavus. Therefore, it was concluded that the isolate was identified to be a member of Streptomyces alidoflavus.

Three isoflavonoids having tyrosinase-inhibiting activity were isolated from the culture filtrate of Streptomyces sp. 20747. Their structures were determined by UV, EI-MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR to be daidzein, daidzein 7-rhamnoside, and genistein 7-rhamnoside, which were competitive with substrate and had IC50 value of 14, 19, and 16 ng/ml, respectively to mushroom tyrosinase and did not inhibit melanin production of Streptomyces bikiniensis. Soybean meal as well as peptone were found to be a good nitrogen source for tyrosinase-inhibiting isoflavonoids production, susgesting that soybean meal is not the origin of tyrosinase inhibiting isoflavonoids formation in Streptomyces sp. 20747 strain.

An actinomycete strain, HSL-613 was isolated -from soil and identified by International Streptomyces Project (ISP) and chemotaxonomic methods. The spore chain of the strain HSL-613 appears in a spiral shape, and its spores are spherical shape with smooth surface. The cell wall contains LL-diaminopimelic acid (DAP). Menaquinone MK-9 (H$_{6}$, H$_{8}$) and iso- and anteiso-branched fatty acids were detected from whole cell extract. Sugars identified from whole cell extract include galactose, glucose, mannose and ribose, which are distinct from general sugar patterns of Streptomyces. Average G+C content in the chromosome is 59%. 5S rRNA of HSL-613 consists of 120 nucleotides as determined by comparing with that of a type strain Streptomyces griseus subsp. KCTC 9080. Through morphological, physiological, and chemical characterization, HSL-613 was identified and named as Streptomyces sp. HSL-613.

Numerical identification was aplied for Streptomyces sp.264, an isolate producing a new restriction endonuclease Sdi I. The restriction enzyme would appear to be an isoschisomer of Xho I. Fifty taxonomic unit characters were tested and the data obtained were analyzed numerically by using the TAXON program. The isolate was identified to be the major cluster 19 of Streptomyces and best matched to S. diastatochromogenes. It was, therefore, concluded that the isolate was identified to be a member of Streptomyces diastatochromogenes.

Herbicidal compounds were isolated from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces rochei 87051-3, and identified as maculosin-1, -5, and -6. This is the first report on a Streptomyces species that produces maculosins.

The potato scab is caused by several species of Streptomyces. Among these species, only pathogenic strains were found to produce thaxtomin A characterized by necrotic bioassay and HPLC. In this study, identification of the pathogenic strains of Streptomyces was performed through the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by using specific pathogenicity primer sets derived from the nec1 gene sequences of Streptomyces scabies. The expected PCR products were obtained approximately 580 bp and confirmed by sequencing. This PCR technique can be used effectively to identify the pathogenic Streptomyces species, that cause scab on potato tubers.

To search for a compound inhibiting the petunia callus growth from Streptomyces sp., we investigated the activity in the culture broth of 400 strains. The active compound was successively purified with solvent fractionation, silica gel column chromatography from Streptomyces sp. 9602 strain, and identified as 2, 5, 7-trihydroxy-3-(5'-hydroxyhexyl)-1, 4-naphthoquinone by 1H-NMR, EI-MS, IR and UV. It inhibited the callus growth of petunia by 50% at $32\mu\textrm{g}$/mL.

The study of the genus Streptomyces is of particular interest because it produces a wide array of clinically important bioactive molecules. The genomic sequencing of many Streptomyces species has revealed unusually large numbers of cytochrome P450 genes, which are involved in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Many macrolide biosynthetic pathways are catalyzed by a series of enzymes in gene clusters including polyketide and non-ribosomal peptide synthesis. In general, Streptomyces P450 enzymes accelerate the final, post-polyketide synthesis steps to enhance the structural architecture of macrolide chemistry. In this review, we discuss the major Streptomyces P450 enzymes research focused on the biosynthetic processing of macrolide therapeutic agents, with an emphasis on their biochemical mechanisms and structural insights.

In the isolated 280 Actinomycetes strains, 12 groups of Streptomyces were 87.2% and 3groups of Non-Streptomyces were 12.8%, respectively. Streptomyces with sporophore of the spiral chain form reached to 80% of all the Streptomyces isolates. Surface morphology of spores have been determined with the electron microscope ; two groups have a spiny surface, 10 groups have a smooth surface. Isolated Actinomyceles groups were indentified as Streptomycetes groups and Non-Streptomyces groups. Actinomycetes isolates were selected as the strains having predominant antibacterial activities against the microorganisms among the 15 groups which has antibacterial activities. Selected Actinomycetes isolates showed high antibiotic sensitivity of S-9 strain(8.46 r/ml), S-6 strain(6.23 r/ml), S-2 strain(7.24 r/ml) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27857), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) and Staphylococcus aureus(ATCC 6538).

We tried to analyze the growth time for secretion of the iron containing superoxide dismutase by comparing the intra-and extracellular enzyme activity from Streptomyces subrutilus P5 and analyze possible genetic information for this enzyme secretion. The mycelial dry weights and glucose concentrations in culture filtrates were determined during growth. Glucose was consumed rapidly during logarithmic growth phase and almost exhausted at 24 h of cultivation. While the intracellular activity of iron containing superoxide dismutase was first appeared at three hours, the extracellular activity of this enzyme appeared from 7.5 h of cultivation, early logarithmic growth phase. This early presence of the superoxide dismutase might not be the result of cell lysis but active secretion pathway. There was no information for signal peptide responsible for the enzyme secretion in sodF. However, we found a type three secretion box in the promoter region of sodF that has been known for the genes of type III secreted proteins in other bacteria. This is the first report on the possible existence of type III secretion in Streptomyces.
