Complete genome sequence of high-yield strain S. lincolnensis B48 and identification of crucial mutations contributing to lincomycin overproduction.

ABSTRACT: The lincosamide family antibiotic lincomycin is a widely used antibacterial pharmaceutical generated by Streptomyces lincolnensis, and the high-yield strain B48 produces 2.5 g/L lincomycin, approximately 30-fold as the wild-type strain NRRL 2936. Here, the genome of S. lincolnensis B48 was completely sequenced, revealing a ~10.0 Mb single chromosome with 71.03% G + C content. Based on the genomic information, lincomycin-related primary metabolism network was constructed and the secondary metabolic potential was analyzed. In order to dissect the overproduction mechanism, a comparative genomic analysis with NRRL 2936 was performed. Three large deletions (LDI-III), one large inverted duplication (LID), one long inversion and 80 small variations (including 50 single nucleotide va
