Genome description of a potentially new species of Streptomyces isolated from the Indian Sundarbans mangrove

A potentially new species of <i>Streptomyces</i> was isolated from station 177 of the Sundarbans Seasonal Time Series in the Indian Sundarbans mangrove. The isolate was cultured from a sediment sample on TYS medium of salinity 15. Sequencing and annotation of the 16S rRNA showed 100% identity against <i>S. laurentii</i> NPS17 against GenBank/ENA/DDBJ. Annotation of the whole genome against the GTDB database showed closest identity with <i>S. terrae</i> SKN60 and belongs to the same clade as <i>S. roseicoloratus</i> TRM44457T and <i>S. laurentii</i> ATCC 31255. The genome is ~7.2 Mb and has a G+C% of 73%. The average amino acid identity was 85.01% with <i>S. roseicoloratus</i> and 80.34% with <i>S. roseolus</i>. The assembly reflected the presence of all essential genes and had 19 biosynthetic gene clusters predicted.
