Mechanisms of Biodeterioration of Structural Materials by <i>Streptomyces</i> spp.: A Review

The processes of microbial damage to materials lead to a number of environmental problems. To prevent the development of eco-trophic corrosively active groups of micro-organisms, “green” biocides/inhibitors are being developed. Actinobacteria of the genus <i>Streptomyces</i> are actively...

description The processes of microbial damage to materials lead to a number of environmental problems. To prevent the development of eco-trophic corrosively active groups of micro-organisms, “green” biocides/inhibitors are being developed. Actinobacteria of the genus <i>Streptomyces</i> are actively studied from the point of view of usefulness/harmfulness in relation to human activity, in particular, in the processes of microbial damage to materials. To summarize the results of available scientific research and reviews devoted to the participation and supposed mechanisms of structural materials damage caused by streptomycetes, the presented study was performed. The possible role of streptomycetes in the biodeterioration of structural materials was speculated. The obtained data indicate the need for further studies on streptomycetes as participants in the corrosion process, with special attention to their production of secondary metabolites and nanoparticles of metal and metal oxides with antimicrobial and inhibitory properties, which will contribute to the expansion of the list of “green” biocides/inhibitors.
