Streptomyces venezuelae is a species of soil-dwelling Gram-positive bacterium of the genus "Streptomyces".
"S. venezuelae" is filamentous. In its spore-bearing stage, hyphae perfuse both above ground as aerial hyphae and in the soil substrate.
Chloramphenicol, the first antibiotic to be manufactured synthetically on a large scale, was originally derived from "S. venezuelae". Other secondary metabolites produced by "S. venezuelae" include jadomycin and pikromycin.
