Whole-genome sequencing of Streptomyces sp. nov. isolated from lichen with antistreptococcal activity
This project presents the whole-genome sequencing of a novel Streptomyces strain isolated from lichen. Genomic analyses (ANI,GGDC and TYGS) indicate that this strain is distinct from closely related Streptomyces species, suggesting it may represent a putative new species. The strain exhibits promising antimicrobial activity, particularly against Streptococcus species. The genomic data will provide insights into the biosynthetic pathways responsible for bioactive compound production and expand the understanding of lichen-associated actinomycete diversity.
