Description Antagonistic compounds a r e widespread in sediments which is a treasure
house for many useful micro-organisms and among them streptomycetes
are considered the most important group of organisms capable of producing
the widely used antibiotic substances. Antibiotics are of considerable interest
because they offer a potentially powerful way of selectively inhibiting
bacteria, thus permitting one to descriminate between the contributions
from various groups of organisms in complex ecological processes. Some
antibiotics are active against only Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria,
others have a broad-spectrum of activity. As different antibiotics have
different modes of action, one bacterial process may be inhibited by a given
antibiotic but another process may be unaffected (at least over the short
term).
