Evolution of Antibiotic Synthesis Gene Clusters in the TFH56, Isolated from Tomato Flower.

species are known to produce various bioactive metabolites that can prevent plant diseases. Previously, the strain TFH56 was found to inhibit the gray mold pathogen, , in tomato flower. In this study, the genome sequence of strain TFH56 was acquired using the Pacific Biosciences RS II platform. Three linear sequences (7.67 Mbp in total) were obtained. Based on average nucleotide identity, strain TFH56 was classified as , which is consistent with the presence of a linear chromosome and linear plasmids. Moreover, as with other examples of , the genome of strain TFH56 included a caryolan-1-ol synthase gene, a conprimycin synthetic gene cluster, and a lidamycin synthetic gene cluster.
