streptomonospora alba streptomonospora alba streptomonospora alba is a halophilic species of bacteria. yim 90003(t) (=cctcc aa001013(t)=dsm 44588(t)) is the type strain. it is closest to streptomonospora salina. its genome sequence was reported in 2015. streptomonospora alba scientific classification domain: bacteria phylum: actinomycetota class: actinomycetia order: streptosporangiales family: nocardiopsaceae genus: streptomonospora species: streptomonospora albali et al. 2003 description its aerial mycelium and substrate mycelium are well developed on most media. the aerial mycelium form short spore chains, bearing non-motile, straight to flexuous spores with wrinkled surfaces. metabolites streptomonospora alba was found to produce streptomonomicin, a lasso peptide antibiotic. streptomonomicin displayed selective antibacterial activity against bacteria of the bacillota phylum, especially bacillus anthracis, while being inactive against pseudomonadota or ascomycota.
