Streptomyces achromogenes is a species of gram-positive bacterium that belongs in the genus Streptomyces. S. achromogenes can be grown at 26° C in a medium of yeast and malt extract with glucose.

S. achromogenes is the source of the restriction enzymess SacI and SacII,[1] as well as the antibiotic compound sarcidin.[2] A strain of the bacterium called S. achromogenes var. streptozoticus was the original source of the pancreatic cancer drug streptozotocin.[3]
