Streptomyces tunisiensis strain:GCF 039538125 | isolate:Streptomyces tunisiensis Genome sequencing
The marine invertebrate-associated microbiome has garnered significant interest in recent years due to its wealth of novel genes that can be explored for biomining. Actinomycetes are particularly well known for their ability to produce secondary metabolites. By combining genomics with untargeted data-dependent mass spectrometry (MS) and molecular networking, we characterized the secreted metabolome of Streptomyces sp. In our previous study, we isolated and a strain of Streptomyces, designated as strain 34, from Chromodoris quadricolor, which was collected by SCUBA diving in the Red Sea near El Tor in the Gulf of Suez, Egypt. This strain exhibits desirable traits, antimicrobial and antitumor activities, and contains several biosynthetic gene clusters, including polyketide synthase (PKS) and non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) gene clusters. In the present study, the Streptomyces isolate was identified as Streptomyces tunisiensis GCF 039538125
