Also, they are found in the sediments situated in the deep sea, and they are rich in GC content since the organisms are Gram-Positive bacteria. The bacterium subtypes produce antibiotics and other commercially beneficial organic compounds. Among the prolific antibiotics produced by Streptomyces griseus is the streptomycin-a bioactive compound used in the production of clinical antibiotics. Since most bacteria live in the soil, they compete to survive in the presence of minimal resources with their neighboring organisms. Streptomyces griseus bacterium overcomes this competition by producing toxins such as antibiotics and bacteriocins, allowing them to access adequate resource uptake and assimilation (Westhoff et al., 2020). Therefore, the production of antibiotics becomes a beneficial trait because it may allow them to kill
