Abstract

The genus Micromonospora (Ørskov 1923) is a Gram-positive, chemo-organotrophic, aerobic actinomycete, the second most predominant genus of the phylum Actinomycetota in natural environments after the genus Streptomyces, and has provided many clinically significant antibiotics, mostly aminoglycosides like gentamicin. This mini review will highlight the occurrence of this genus in diverse environments and its importance for natural product discovery and biotechnology.
