One of the More Important Genera of Gram-Positive Aerobic Actinomycetes

Question

One of the more important genera of gram-positive aerobic actinomycetes found in soils is ________.
A)Streptomyces
B)Bdellovibrio
C)Acinetobacter
D)Pseudomonas

Accepted Answer

Streptomyces is one of the most abundant genera of gram-positive aerobic actinomycetes found in soils. They are known for producing a wide range of bioactive compounds, including antibiotics, antifungals, and anticancer agents. Some Streptomyces species also play a crucial role in the decomposition of organic matter in soil. Bdellovibrio, Acinetobacter, and Pseudomonas are not actinomycetes and are not typically found in high numbers in soil.
