We investigated a novel, simple approach to induce the production of cryptic secondary metabolites in actinomycetes by stimulating the organism with high-intensity monochromatic green light (180 radiation unit). Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) produces blue antibiotic actinorhodin (ACT) and red antibi...
