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
- Epoxyquinomicin, related to Amycolatopsis sulphurea, are a class of weak antibiotic and anti-inflammatory agent.[2]
- Vancomycin, obtained from Amycolatopsis orientalis, is being used for infections resistant to other antibiotics.
- platelet agglutination. Now it is used to assay von Willebrand disease.
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]
