Streptomonospora alba is a halophilic species of bacteria. YIM 90003(T) (=CCTCC AA001013(T)=DSM 44588(T)) is the type strain. It is closest to Streptomonospora salina. Its genome sequence was reported in 2015.

Description

Its aerial mycelium and substrate mycelium are well developed on most media. The aerial mycelium form short spore chains, bearing non-motile, straight to flexuous spores with wrinkled surfaces.

Metabolites

Streptomonospora alba was found to produce streptomonomicin, a lasso peptide antibiotic. Streptomonomicin displayed selective antibacterial activity against bacteria of the Bacillota phylum, especially Bacillus anthracis, while being inactive against Pseudomonadota or Ascomycota.
