Answer

  1. Streptomyces

Explanation:

Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic useful for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections. It is bacteriostatic.

Erythromycin belongs to a group of drugs called as macrolide antibiotics. Macrolide antibiotics slow the growth of, or sometimes kill, sensitive bacteria by reducing the production of important proteins needed by the bacteria to survive.

Streptomyces is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria that helps in the production of chloramphenicol and erythromycin.
