Abstract

ABSTRACTStrain DH-12 exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial activity toward Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. The 7.6-Mb draft genome sequence gives insight into the complete secondary metabolite production capacity and reveals genes putatively responsible for its antibacterial activity, as well as genes which enable the survival of the organism in an extreme arid environment.

Highlights

  • Strain DH-12 exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial activity toward Grampositive and Gram-negative pathogens

  • The closest related type strains based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence are Streptomyces xylophagus NBRC 13845 (GenBank accession number AB184526), Streptomyces variabilis NRRL B-3984 (NR_ 043840), and Streptomyces werraensis NBRC 13404 (NR_112390), all with 97% sequence identity

  • The duplicated ectoine biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) contribute to survivability under extreme conditions
