What does the published scientific research say about Streptomyces cellulosae?

Five PubMed articles reference Streptomyces cellulosae (synonym: Streptomyces cellulosi) in plant-input contexts, with the bulk of peer-reviewed research focused on soil-borne disease biocontrol. Studies on strain Actino 48 (accession MT573878) report in vitro inhibition of Rhizoctonia solani mycelium growth reaching 97%, and talc- and bentonite-based bio-formulations of the same strain are cited in the literature as reducing peanut damping-off and root rot caused by both R. solani and Sclerotium rolfsii under greenhouse and open-field conditions.

A separate rhizosphere isolate, strain YIM PH20352, is reported in peer-reviewed research to produce the angucyclinone compounds rabelomycin and dehydrorabelomycin, which showed antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani, Plectosphaerella cucumerina, and Alternaria panax — root-rot pathogens of Panax notoginseng — at MIC values between 32 and 128 μg/mL. The literature also identifies S. cellulosae as a naturally occurring dominant actinomycete in peanut rhizosphere soils under continuous cropping.
