Actinomyces species may form endospores, and while individual bacteria are rod-shaped, Actinomyces colonies form fungus-like branched networks of hyphae. [3] The aspect of these colonies initially led to the incorrect assumption that the organism was a fungus and to the name Actinomyces, "ray fungus" (from Greek actis, ray or beam, and mykes ...

Most Actinomycetota of medical or economic significance are in class Actinomycetia, and belong to the order Actinomycetales.While many of these cause disease in humans, Streptomyces is notable as a source of antibiotics.
Actinomyces and its associated species have, for a long time, been implicated in human infections, particularly those of the mouth, pharynx, distal esophagus, and genitourinary tract. [9] Within the last 10 years, A. massiliensis has been detected in blood, and most Actinomyces bacteremias stem from oral sources. [ 9 ]

Baking bread is an example of secondary food processing. Secondary food processing is the everyday process of creating food from ingredients that are ready to use. Baking bread, regardless of whether it is made at home, in a small bakery, or in a large factory, is an example of secondary food processing. [2]
Actinomyces olivochromogenus [3] [4] Streptomyces olivochromogenes is a bacterium species from the genus of Streptomyces which has been isolated from soil. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] [ 5 ] Streptomyces olivochromogenes produces ferulic acid . [ 6 ]
Actinomyces bovis is a branching, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium of the genus Actinomyces. [1] It is the causative agent of lumpy jaw in cattle, and occasionally causes actinomycosis infections in humans. [ 3 ]
