Abstract

When compared to other bacteria, the genus Streptomyces involves a distinct assembly of Gram-positive bacteria that are universal in nature and display complex range in colony color, secretion of pigments, etc. The greatest role of Streptomyces is its capacity to generate biologically active specialized products, for instance, antivirals, antihypertensives, anticancer, fungicides, immunosuppressors, and most importantly antibiotics. Taxonomy or systematics of bacteria involves the study of a range of organisms that makes use of classification, nomenclature, and identification. Streptomyces taxonomy is established on limited characters such as structural coloration, bionomical necessities, and structural aspect of chains of fungal spore morphology. Streptomyces have been classified based on different approaches like the International Streptomyces Project (ISP) of 1966, genomic sequence (phylogenetic approach), molecular techniques (genotyping approach), chemical characteristics (chemotaxonomy), or numerical taxonomy. As far as the diversity is concerned, in the majority of the bacterial domain, the genus Streptomyces is highly diversified and is scattered around substantial terrestrial sections.
