Abstract
ABSTRACTStreptomyces sp. GKU 895 is an endophytic actinomycete isolated from the roots of sugarcane. GKU 895 has a genome of 8.3 Mbp and the genome exhibits adaptations related to plant growth-promoting activity. It also has extensive specialized metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters apparent in its genome.
Highlights
Based on 16S rRNA sequence analysis, strain GKU 895 is closely related to Streptomyces canus NRRLB-1989T
MinION reads were obtained using a ligation sequencing kit 2D (SQK-LSK208, R9.4) and spot-on flow cell Mk1 (R9.4) and were extracted using Poretools [4] which generated 21,275 2D MinION reads with an average length of 2,979 bp
Rapid Annotations using Subsystems Technology (RAST) annotation revealed that the genome of Streptomyces sp
Summary
GKU 895 is a root-associated bacterium isolated from sugarcane plants cultivated in Thailand [2]. Based on 16S rRNA sequence analysis, strain GKU 895 is closely related to Streptomyces canus NRRLB-1989T GKU 895 shows the ability to solubilize phosphate and produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), siderophores, and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase. It is capable of suppressing the growth of Bacillus cereus ATCC 11778 and the sugarcane red rot fungal pathogens Colletotrichum falcatum and Fusarium moniliforme [3].
