Abstract

Streptomyces cavourensis strain 1AS2a, isolated from wheat rhizosphere in the Brazilian Neotropical savanna, exhibits strong antimicrobial activities. Its genome comprises 7,600,475 bp with 6,590 open reading frames (ORFs) that reveal 30 biosynthetic gene clusters (BGC5). It provides a genetic basis for further research of the potential of this strain for the production of antimicrobial compounds. (AU)
