Abstract
Streptomyces albus is the type species of the genus Streptomyces. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of S. albus strain NBRC 13014T. The genome contains at least seven orphan polyketide synthase and nonribosomal peptide synthetase gene clusters. The genome sequence will also serve as a valuable reference for Streptomyces taxonomy.
Highlights
Streptomyces albus is the type species of the genus Streptomyces
The whole genome of S. albus NBRC 13014T was read by using a combined strategy of shotgun sequencing with GS FLXϩ (Roche; 75.7-Mb sequences, 9.7-fold coverage) and paired-end sequencing with MiSeq (Illumina; 513.8-Mb sequences, 66.1-fold coverage)
The type-II Polyketide synthase (PKS) gene cluster will synthesize xantholipin-like compounds because its KS␣ and CLF showed 89% and 78% amino acid sequence identities to XanF and XanE, respectively [11]
Summary
Streptomyces albus is the type species of the genus Streptomyces. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of S. albus strain NBRC 13014T. Members of the genus Streptomyces are promising sources for secondary metabolites [1]. Streptomyces albus, previously identified as S. albus subsp. Albus, is the type species of the genus Streptomyces [2].
