all come from what
microorganisms?

Streptomyces spp. |

Not made from microorganisms |
||
Saccharomyces spp. |
Answer- Streptomyces spp.
Explanation- Tetracycline, aminoglycosides, macrolides and chloramphenicol are example of antibiotics. Macrolides and aminoglycosides are considered as group of antibiotic compounds. Tetracycline, chloramphenicol is obtained from different strains of Streptomyces spp. The mode of action of these antibiotics is the prevention of protein synthesis as it can binds to 30S ribosomal subunit for tetracycline and 50S subunit for chloramphenicol. The antibiotic class macrolides acts like the same of chloramphenicol. It obtained from Streptomyces erytheus. Aminoglycosides are produced by different strains of Streptomyces sp. and acts the same like tetracycline.
So, these all are obtained from Streptomyces spp.
