Abstract
Streptomyces albus CAS922 was isolated from sunflower seed hulls. Its fully sequenced genome harbors a multitude of genes for carbohydrate-active enzymes, which likely facilitate growth on lignocellulosic biomass. Furthermore, the presence of 27 predicted biosynthetic gene clusters indicates a significant potential for the production of bioactive secondary metabolites.
Highlights
Actinomycete bacteria are important contributors to the natural degradation of lignocellulosic biomass [1, 2]
A total of 232 carbohydrate-active enzymes were predicted using the CAZy database [13] and dbCAN2 [14]. Three of these proteins belong to the AA10 family, recently
The actinomycete harbors the genes for biosynthesis of the antibiotics xantholipin [21] and pseudouridimycin [22]
Summary
Actinomycete bacteria are important contributors to the natural degradation of lignocellulosic biomass [1, 2]. A total of 232 carbohydrate-active enzymes were predicted using the CAZy database [13] and dbCAN2 [14].
