Streptomyces avermitilis is a bacterium species in the genus Streptomyces.
The first complete genome sequence of S. avermitilis was completed in 2003.[4] This genome forms a chromosome with a linear structure, unlike most bacterial genomes, which exist in the form of circular chromosomes.[5]
S. avermitilis is responsible for the production avermectins,[1] of which one of the most widely employed drugs against nematode and arthropod infestations is ivermectin, as well as abamectin, a widely used insecticide and anthelmintic.
