Overview

  • Streptomyces specialis is a Gram-positive, exosporous, aerobic, non-motile, filamentous bacterium. Streptomyces specialis is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Kampfer2012Bergey; Kampfer2008a)



  • This organism has been recovered from soil. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Streptomyces, being aerobic and having lower optimum growth temperatures are unlikely to be gut colonisers.
    • GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS (Kampfer2012Bergey); (Kampfer2008a);
    Character Response
  • 🌡
  • Temperature tolerance:
  • Grows optimally at 25-30℃.
  • ⥅
  • Substrates assimilated or utilised:
  • N-acetylglucosamine; adonitol; d_arabitol; gluconate; glucose; inositol; ribose; sorbitol; sucrose; arginine; butyrate; glutarate; isobutyrate; isovalerate; propionate; L-asparagine;
  • Active enzymes:
  • catalase;
