Abstract

Streptomyces sp. strain NL15-2K is a degrader of lignin-derived aromatic compounds and was isolated from a forest soil sample. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this strain and its annotation. This genome of 12,072,023 bp exhibits a GC content of 70.32% and encodes 10,874 predicted proteins and 75 RNAs.

Highlights

Streptomyces sp. strain NL15-2K is a degrader of lignin-derived aromatic compounds and was isolated from a forest soil sample
The genome contained genes involved in the catabolism of lignin-derived aromatic compounds, including pcaHG [14] and catA [15], which encode protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase
This study provides valuable genetic information required to understand the catabolism of lignin-derived aromatic compounds in strain NL15-2K and to develop biocatalysts for producing valuable compounds from inexpensive plant constituents
