Genome Sequence of the Filamentous ActinomyceteKitasatospora viridifaciens.
The vast majority of antibiotics are produced by filamentous soil bacteria called actinomycetes. We report here the genome sequence of the tetracycline producer "Streptomyces viridifaciens" DSM 40239. Given that this species has the hallmark signatures characteristic of theKitasatosporagenus, we previously proposed to rename this organismKitasatospora viridifaciens.
