Among specific topics are deciphering Streptomyces Streptomyces (strĕp'təmī`sēz), bacterial genus of the order Actinomycetales, members of which resemble fungi in their branching filamentous structure. Various species produce such antibiotics as streptomycin and various tetracyclines. lividans KcsA as a K channel, glutamate-activated channels, voltage-gated and inward rectifier K+ channels, and the role of bacterial channels in cell physiology.
