Streptomyces bingchenggensis is a soil-dwelling bacterium producing the commercially important anthelmintic macrolide milbemycins. Besides milbemycins, the insecticidal polyether antibiotic nanchangmycin and some other antibiotics have also been isolated from this strain. Here we report the complete genome sequence of S. bingchenggensis. The availability of the genome sequence of S. bingchenggensis should enable us to understand the biosynthesis of these structurally intricate antibiotics better and facilitate rational improvement of this strain to increase their titers.
兵城链霉菌是一种土壤栖息细菌,能够产生具有商业重要性的驱虫大环内酯米尔贝霉素。除了米尔贝霉素外,这种菌株还分离出了杀虫聚醚抗生素南昌霉素和其他一些抗生素。在这里,我们报告了兵城链霉菌的完整基因组序列。兵城链霉菌基因组序列的可用性应该使我们能够更好地理解这些结构复杂的抗生素的生物合成,并促进对该菌株进行合理的改进,以提高它们的产量。
