At this time, people knew of microorganisms called actinomycetes that lived in soil and were known to produce antibiotics, some of which killed fungus.

The fungi are also able to produce antibiotics, penicillin among them, that kill the bacteria.

One of the most notable characteristics of the actinomycetes is their ability to produce antibiotics.

It volunteered to increase production of its antibiotics and even to allow its plants to be used to produce antibiotics made by other manufacturers.

Thienamycin, one of the most potent naturally produced antibiotics known thus far, was discovered in Streptomyces cattleya in 1976.

Many of them are known to produce antibiotics.

It can produce antibiotics," he said.

Some lichen produce natural antibiotics that kill bacteria.

Many fungi produce toxins, antibiotics and other secondary metabolites.

An example would be that of companies growing fungus to produce antibiotics, e.g. penicillin from the penicillium fungi.
