Micromonospora
Micromonospora is a genus of bacteria that are commonly found in soils, sediments, and in close contact with
the roots of different plants. In 1923, they were named "ray fungi" on the basis of their shape (also known as morphology). The genus is a source of chemicals that are used in medicine to treat bacterial infections.
Microbiology
Ecology
In the environment, they form networks called mycelium to enable them to break down and digest dead plant matter to gain energy. This process is called saprotrophy.
Morphology
Micromonospora are Gram-positive, spore-forming, and live in areas of the soil with access to air, as they are aerobic (use oxygen).
Physiology
