Abstract
Streptomyces griseorubens JSD-1, isolated from compost-treated soil, is able to utilize lignocellulose and nitrate as its sole carbon and nitrogen source for growth. Here, we announce the draft genome map of this actinomycete. The genes participating in lignocellulose and nitrate metabolism were picked out and identified.
Highlights
Streptomyces griseorubens JSD-1, isolated from compost-treated soil, is able to utilize lignocellulose and nitrate as its sole carbon and nitrogen source for growth
The actinomycete designated JSD-1 was isolated from compost-treated soil in Shanghai, China, and identified as S. griseorubens through 16S rRNA sequencing as well as its morphological and physiological characteristics
Of all sequence reads by applying Newbler 2.8 assembler resulted in a draft genome
Summary
Streptomyces griseorubens JSD-1, isolated from compost-treated soil, is able to utilize lignocellulose and nitrate as its sole carbon and nitrogen source for growth. Streptomycetes are the most numerous and ubiquitous soil bacteria [1]. These include degradation of the insoluble remains of other organisms, such as lignocellulose and chitin, making streptomycetes central organisms in carbon recycling. Streptomycetes can utilize nitrate as a nitrogen resource for growth, indicating that they play an important role in nitrogen recycling.
