Polyphasic taxonomic description of <i>Streptomyces okerensis</i> sp. nov. and <i>Streptomyces stoeckheimensis</i> sp. nov. and their biotechnological potential.

ABSTRACT: Streptomyces strains DSM 116494^T and DSM 116496^T were isolated from sediment samples of the River Oker in Braunschweig, Germany, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study and genome mining for specialized secondary metabolites. Phenotypic, genetic and genomic data confirmed the assignment of these strains to the Streptomyces genus. Pairwise 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values between the strains and validly named Streptomyces species reached 99.5 and 99.7% for strains DSM 116494^T and DSM 116496^T, respectively. Genome-based phylogeny demonstrated that Streptomyces pilosus and Streptomyces griseoflavus species were the close relatives to strain DSM 116494^T, while Streptomyces vinaceus sp
