Albert Schatz used the leads from Woodruff's development of streptothricin to create streptomycin. "Streptomyces racemochromogenes" produces phospholipase D, the acemomycine complex and the streptothricin complex. Streptomycin, actinomycin, and streptothricin are all medically important antibiotics isolated from Actinomycetes bacteria. In his doctoral work, he discovered the antibiotics actinomycin and streptothricin. Streptothricin hydrolase (, "sttH (gene)") is an enzyme with systematic name "streptothricin-F hydrolase".
