Streptomyces venezuelae explained

Streptomyces venezuelae^[1] is a species of soil-dwelling^[2] Gram-positive bacterium of the genus Streptomyces.^[3] S. venezuelae is filamentous. In its spore-bearing stage, hyphae perfuse both above ground as aerial hyphae and in the soil substrate.^[3] Chloramphenicol, the first antibiotic to be manufactured synthetically on a large scale, was originally derived from S. venezuelae.^{[2] [4] [5]} Other secondary metabolites produced by S. venezuelae include jadomycin and pikromycin.
