Abstract

Bioproduction using microbes from biomass feedstocks is of interest in regards to environmental problems and cost reduction. Streptomyces as an industrial microorganism plays an important role in the production of useful secondary metabolites for various applications. This strain also secretes a wide range of extracellular enzymes which degrade various biopolymers in nature, and it consumes these degrading substrates as nutrients. Hence, Streptomyces can be employed as a cell factory for the conversion of biomass-derived substrates into various products. This review focuses on the following two points: (1) Streptomyces as a producer of enzymes for degrading biomass-derived polysaccharides and polymers; and, (2) wild-type and engineered strains of Streptomyces as a host for chemical production from biomass-derived substrates.
