Genome sequence of Streptomyces gilvigriseus MUSC 26^T isolated from mangrove forest

Streptomycetes remain as one of the important sources for bioactive products. Isolated from the mangrove forest, Streptomyces gilvigriseus MUSC 26^T was previously characterised as a novel streptomycete. The high quality draft genome of MUSC 26^T contained 5,213,277 bp with G + C content of 73.0%. Through genome mining, several gene clusters associated with secondary metabolites production were revealed in the genome of MUSC 26^T. These findings call for further investigations into the potential exploitation of the strain for production of pharmaceutically important compounds.
