Abstract
Genus Streptomyces is gram-positive bacteria that grow in various environments. It has plentiful biotechnological attributes on the area of agricultural, bioremediation, biofuel, clinical, food, industrial, medical, pharmaceutical, and veterinary. The aim of the review is to frontward challenges to explore potent Streptomyces species in the case of Ethiopia. There is lack of the extent and quality of the genetic research regarding to genome sequence, bioactive compound discovery, and genetic manipulation. Their functional and structural diversity is not full studied. To find a new Streptomyces species: Culture media formulation and optimization as wells culture-independent method like Next Generation Sequencing approach should incorporate at national level.Keywords
