Exploration of genomic and functional features of chitinolytic bacterium Streptomyces chilikensis RC1830, isolated from Chilika Lake, India.

ABSTRACT: Streptomyces chilikensis RC1830 was previously isolated as a novel chitinolytic streptomycete from Chilika Lake, Odisha, India. The strain RC1830 is a representative member of the soil-dwelling, filamentous Streptomyces group that produces the majority of natural antibiotics and secondary metabolites. The objective of this work was to assess the chitin degradation ability and whole-genome sequence of Streptomyces chilikensis RC1830. TLC analysis of the fermentation product revealed that strain RC1830 can convert shrimp shell colloidal chitin to N-acetylated chitooligosaccharides (N-AcCOS). A genome-wide investigation of RC1830 was also carried out to investigate the genetic basis for chitin breakdown. The result showed that the RC1830 genome possesses a c
