Whole-Genome Sequencing of Streptomyces sp. Strain UYFA156, a Cultivar-Specific Plant Growth-Promoting Endophyte of Festuca arundinacea

Abstract

Streptomyces spp. produce many and diverse bioactive metabolites. Plant growth-promoting (PGP) activity by Streptomyces spp. has been reported repeatedly; however, the mechanisms are largely unknown. We report the sequencing of the genome of a PGP endophytic Streptomyces sp. strain, which will contribute to the understanding of the underlying mechanisms for growth promotion.
