Draft genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. HB-N217 isolated from the marine sponge Forcepia sp.. Microbiology Resource Announcements. 10. Article e01410-20. https://doi.org/10.1128/MRA.01410-20. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1128/MRA.01410-20 Interpretive Summary: Natural products produced by bacteria actinomycetes provide a rich source of drugs, antibiotics and fungicides. However, the identification of novel products and their application potential from actinomycetes is limited due to relatively few genome sequences being deciphered. In the present study, we determined the complete genome sequence for strain HB-N217, which was collected at the Gulf of Mexico. Molecular analysis revealed more than 30 biosynthetic gene clusters involved in secondary metabolite production. Therefore, these results provided useful information and a potential resource for pharmacists, biochemists, and pathologists to identify valuable natural products, as well as for geneticists to conduct diversity and association studies. Technical Abstract: The Gram-positive bacterium Streptomyces sp. HB-N217 was isolated from a Gulf of Mexico sponge Forcepia sp. Here, we reported the draft genome sequence, with a genome size of approximately 8.1 Mb and a G+C content of 71.8%. The genome sequences revealed a rich presence of biosynthetic gene clusters that bear the capability to produce secondary metabolites. The results will also aid marine natural product chemistry and sponge-microbe association studies. |
