Amycolatopsis is a genus of high GC-content bacteria within the family Pseudonocardiaceae.[1] The genus is known for producing many types of antibiotics, including

Degradation of bio-polymers

Several bacteria from the genus Amycolatopsis are able to enzymatically hydrolyze the ester bonds of poly-lactic acid (PLA) films in aquatic medium. So far, it is one of the few known bacteria able to biodegrade the bioplastic outside compost facilities in a relatively short period of time.[3][4]

Species

Amycolatopsis comprises the following species:[5]

Yuhushiella: Brief Summary

provided by wikipedia EN

Amycolatopsis is a genus of high GC-content bacteria within the family Pseudonocardiaceae. The genus is known for producing many types of antibiotics, including

Epoxyquinomicin, related to Amycolatopsis sulphurea, are a class of weak antibiotic and anti-inflammatory agent. Vancomycin, obtained from Amycolatopsis orientalis, is being used for infections resistant to other antibiotics. Ristocetin, made by Amycolatopsis lurida, was an antibiotic but ceased to apply due to adverse effects of platelet agglutination. Now it is used to assay von Willebrand disease.
