Hypothesis: Actinomycetes and Streptomyces sp. in particular, are non-obligate predators of bacteria in soil. Evidence: Ability to grow on live bacterial cells as a sole source of nutrients. Prey cell lysis accompanying growth. Circumstantial evidence for the involvement of antimicrobials along with enzymes.Implications: This finding may open up a new source of novel secondary metabolites from the genus. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2007.1263.2 Thu, 01 Nov 2007 17:00:03 UTC Streptomyces sp. as predators of bacteria doi:10.1038/npre.2007.1263.2 2007-11-01 Milind G.
