Question
Which 4 organisms make the most antibiotics?
Chemotherapeutic agents: antimicrobial agents of synthetic origin useful in the treatment of microbial or viral disease. Examples: sulfonilamides, isoniazid, ethambutol, AZT, chloramphenicol. Note that the microbiologist's definition of a chemotherapeutic agent requires that the agent be used for antimicrobial purposes and so excludes synthetic agents used for therapy against diseases that are not of microbial origin. Antibiotics are low molecular-weight (non-protein) molecules produced as secondary metabolites, mainly by microorganisms that live in the soil. Among the molds, the notable antibiotic producers are Penicillium and Cephalosporium , which are the main source of the beta-lactam antibiotics (penicillin and its relatives).
In the Bacteria, the Actinomycetes, notably Streptomyces species, produce a variety of types of antibiotics including the aminoglycosides (e.g. streptomycin), macrolides (e.g. erythromycin), and the tetracyclines. Endospore-forming Bacillus species produce polypeptide antibiotics such as polymyxin and bacitracin.

Penicillium
Penicillium is one of the most commonly found molds. It is common in soil, food, cellulose and grains. Often found growing indoors on water damaged building materials (chipboard/OSB, plywood, wallpaper, glue, carpet, wall paper) as well as on food items (dried foods, cheeses, fruits, herbs, spices, cereals). Penicillium mold is used to make the antibiotic penicillin and even an antifungal drug called griseofulvin.
SEM Light microscope The organization of the phialides at the tips of the conidiophores is very typical. They form brush-like clusters which are also referred to as "penicilli"
Penicillium chrysogenum
In the center of the plate is a colony of Penicillium notatum, a mold that produces penicillin. After appearance of the mold colony, the plate was overlaid with a bacterial culture of Micrococcus luteus which forms a yellow "lawn" of growth. A zone of inhibition of bacterial growth surrounds the fungal colony where penicillin has diffused into the medium.
The first member of the newer series of beta-lactams was isolated in 1956 from extracts of Cephalosporium acremonium, a sewer fungus.
This strain produces an aminoglycoside antibioticC streptomycinC which is clinically used as a broad-spectrum antibacterial (tuberculostatic) agentD Aerial mass color is yellow and straight spore chains with a smooth surface are developed. Streptomyces griseus
From a single spore a vegetative mycelium germinates, this is followed by aerial growth with the production of aerial hyphae. These hyphae in turn will undergo synchronous septation to produce unigenomic spore compartments, which will disperse and thus commence a new cycle
Medically useful antibiotics are produced by B. subtilis (bacitracin) and B. polymyxa(polymyxin B). In addition, strains of B. amyloliquefaciens bacteria, which occur in association with certain plants, are known to synthesize several different antibiotic substances, including bacillaene, macrolactin, and difficidin. These substances serve to protect the host...
Bacillus subtilis. These gram positive, sporeforming rods produce colonies which are dry, flat, and irregular, with lobate margins.
Antimicrobial activity of B. subtilis at 0, 8, 12 and 16 hours of incubation, against M. luteus, as shown by clear zone of inhibition (mm) [A: 0, B: 8, C: 12, D: 16 hours]. Zone of inhibition directly related to the amount of antibiotic produced is decreasing with the passage of incubation time
Answer
1. Penicillium (e.g. Penicillium chrysogenum/notatum), 2. Cephalosporium (e.g. Cephalosporium acremonium ), 3. Streptomyces (e.g. Streptomyces antibioticus) and 4. some Bacillus species (e.g. Bacillus polymyxa and Bacillus subtilis )
