👉 Steinbeckomyces is a bacterium that primarily lives in the soil, particularly in acidic or alkaline conditions. It has been found in various plant species and can be used as an agricultural pest control agent for its ability to degrade organic matter and break down plant debris. Its presence on soil surfaces can also lead to the growth of fungi such as "Streptomyces" and "Candida," which are known for their ability to promote nutrient cycling and decomposition in the soil.
