Antibiotic Production: Amycolatopsis species are known for their ability to produce a wide range of bioactive compounds, including antibiotics with potential therapeutic applications. These antibiotics may have antimicrobial, antifungal, or antiparasitic properties and may be used in medicine, agriculture, or industry.
Environmental Role: Amycolatopsis species are commonly found in soil and other environmental habitats, where they play important roles in organic matter decomposition, nutrient cycling, and soil ecology. They contribute to soil health and fertility by breaking down organic materials and recycling nutrients.
Rare Infections: While Amycolatopsis species are generally considered non-pathogenic to humans, there have been rare reports of infections associated with these bacteria, particularly in immunocompromised individuals or those with underlying medical conditions. These infections are typically opportunistic and may manifest as localized infections, abscesses, or systemic infections.
Biotechnological Applications: Amycolatopsis species, including Amycolatopsis azurea, have significant biotechnological potential due to their ability to produce bioactive compounds with diverse pharmacological properties. These bacteria are widely studied for their potential applications in drug discovery, bioremediation, agriculture, and industrial biotechnology.

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
