Comprehensive genome analysis of <i>Streptomyces caeruleatus</i> S14 isolated from rice rhizosphere.

ABSTRACT: Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most devastating diseases affecting rice crops. We investigated effectiveness of Streptomyces spp. against M. oryzae. The results revealed that among the Streptomyces spp., Streptomyces caeruleatus strain S14 demonstrated superior effectiveness in inhibiting the mycelial growth of M. oryzae (74.7%). The strain was identified by sequencing 16S rRNA region. Further, the complete genome sequence of this highly effective strain was acquired using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 (PE 150), revealing a total genome length of 9,750,804 base pairs (9.7 Mb). The genome comprises 9,191 protein-coding sequences (CDS), 68 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 6 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, with an average G+C content of 71.
