1. Antibiotic Production: Many actinomycetes are well-known for their ability to produce antibiotics. Streptomyces, a genus within the Actinobacteria phylum, is particularly famous for producing a variety of antibiotics, including streptomycin, tetracycline, and erythromycin. These antibiotics have been crucial in medicine for treating bacterial infections.

2. Soil Decomposition: Actinobacteria play a vital role in the decomposition of organic matter in soil. They are important contributors to the nutrient cycling in ecosystems.

3. Pathogenic Species: Some actinomycetes can be pathogenic and are associated with human diseases. For example, Actinomyces is a genus that includes species that can cause infections in humans, such as actinomycosis.

4. Biocontrol Agents: Certain actinomycetes have been investigated for their potential as biocontrol agents in agriculture. They may help protect plants from harmful pathogens.

5. Biotechnological Applications: Actinomycetes have been explored for various biotechnological applications, including the production of enzymes, bioactive compounds, and other industrial products.

Legend

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
