Complete genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. TN58, a producer of acyl alpha-L-rhamnopyranosides

Abstract

Streptomyces sp. TN58, isolated from a Tunisian soil sample, produces several natural products, including acyl alpha-L-rhamnopyranosides. It possesses a 7.6-Mb linear chromosome. This is, to our knowledge, the first genome sequence of a microorganism known to produce acyl alpha-L-rhamnopyranosides, and it will be helpful to study the biosynthesis of these specialized metabolites.
