Document Summary
Hyphae produce reproductive spores for dispersal conidia o not endospores . The capacity to branch (form structures similar to fungi) Spores are not the same as endospore structures. Found inside what was once the filamentous structure. Also produce substances that kill or inhibit the growth of other microbes - antibiotics . Produces streptomycin, a broad spectrum protein synthesis inhibitor active against. They have to live within soils that are well aerated (a lot of oxygen concentration) Microbial antagonism destroys all it"s (cid:272)o(cid:373)petitors around them so he can have the nutrients. We take the soil and abstract the substance and use it as an antibiotic. Large, heterogeneous phylum of gram negative bacteria o. Numerically dominant microbe in the human large intestine . Produces enzymes to degrade polysaccharides, greatly increasing the variety of plant polymers that can be digested in the human gut. Gram negative cell wall type, but lack peptidoglycan .
