Genome Sequence of Streptomyces cavourensis BUU135, Isolated from Soil from a Tropical Fruit Farm in Thailand

Abstract

Streptomyces cavourensis BUU135 is a bacterial species isolated from the soil of a tropical fruit farm. The genome of S. cavourensis BUU135 comprises a gene encoding nebramycin 5′ synthase, which produces nebramycin 5′ by catalyzing the O -carbamoylation reaction of tobramycin. The newly sequenced 7.66-Mb draft genome of S. cavourensis BUU135 may contribute to the discovery of novel natural products derived from this organism.
