Draft genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. strain Wb2n-11, a desert isolate with broadspectrum antagonism against soilborne phytopathogens

Abstract

Streptomyces sp. strain Wb2n-11, isolated from native desert soil, exhibited broad-spectrum antagonism against plant pathogenic fungi, bacteria, and nematodes. The 8.2-Mb draft genome reveals genes putatively responsible for its promising biocontrol activity and genes which enable the soil bacterium to directly interact beneficially with plants.
