Abstract
The diverse metabolic capability of actinomycetes, together with their widespread presence in terrestrial and aquatic environments, has rendered them instrumental in the breakdown of both man‐made and natural chemicals and in the recycling of carbon in nature. Actinomycetes are also well known for their ability to synthesize a wide variety of novel chemicals of pharmaceutical and industrial value. Cytochromes P‐450, a class of oxidative enzymes found in all organisms, play a central role in both biosynthetic and biodegradative reactions performed by actinomycetes. Herein, we describe recent studies of actinomycetes cytochromes P‐450 made possible by advances realized in biochemistry and molecular biology.Keywords
