''Amycolatopsis'' is a genus of high GC-content bacteria within the family Pseudonocardiaceae. The genus is known for producing many types of antibiotics, including * Epoxyquinomicin, related to ''Amycolatopsis sulphurea'', are a class of weak antibiotic and anti-inflammatory agent. *

Vancomycin Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic medication used to treat a number of bacterial infections. It is recommended intravenously as a treatment for complicated skin infections, bloodstream infections, endocarditis, bone and joint infections, ...

, obtained from '' Amycolatopsis orientalis'', is being used for infections resistant to other antibiotics. * Ristocetin, made by ''Amycolatopsis lurida'', was an antibiotic but ceased to apply due to adverse effects of

von Willebrand disease Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common hereditary blood-clotting disorder in humans. An acquired form can sometimes result from other medical conditions. It arises from a deficiency in the quality or quantity of von Willebrand factor ( ...

Degradation of bio-polymers

Several bacteria from the genus ''Amycolatopsis'' are able to enzymatically hydrolyze the ester bonds of poly-lactic acid ( PLA) films in aquatic medium. So far, it is one of the few known bacteria able to biodegrade the bioplastic outside compost facilities in a relatively short period of time.
