Genomic insights into an endophytic Streptomyces sp. VITGV156 for antimicrobial compounds.

ABSTRACT: Endophytic Streptomyces sp. are recognized as a potential resource for valuable natural products but are less explored. This study focused on exploring endophytic Streptomyces species residing within tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum) harboring genes for the production of a novel class of antibiotics. Our research involved the isolation and characterization of Streptomyces sp. VITGV156, a newly identified endophytic Streptomyces species that produces antimicrobial products. VITGV156 harbors a genome of 8.18 mb and codes 6,512 proteins, of which 4,993 are of known function (76.67%) and 1,519 are of unknown function (23.32%). By employing genomic analysis, we elucidate the genome landscape of this microbial strain and shed light on various BGCs responsibl
