What is Monensin Production by Kytococcus and Dermacoccus about?

The document discusses that Kytococcus sedentarius and Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis, which were previously classified as Micrococcus, can produce monensins like Streptomyces cinnamonensis. Electron microscopy showed that K. sedentarius TR-2 has coccoid cells and DNA analysis showed it is not closely related to S. cinnamonensis, but it can still produce monensins. This demonstrates that secondary metabolism of micrococci is unstable and monensin production supports a phylogenetic relationship to Streptomyces
