Actinomycetes produce a number of useful secondary metabolites with antibiotic, insecticidal and herbicidal activities. Actinomycetes are prokaryotes, but the morphology of their mycelia is similar to that of fungi. Our research into the regulators of aerial mycelium-differentiation and spore germination and the surrounding research is discussed.
