Complete genome sequence of Streptomyces californicus ADR1, an anti-infective, anti-biofilm and anti-oxidant producing endophyte isolated from the medicinal plant Datura metel

OBJECTIVE: Streptomyces californicus strain ADR1 is an endophytic actinobacterium isolated from Datura metel that produces secondary metabolites with potent antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities against WHO-listed high-priority Gram-positive pathogens. While anti-bacterial and antioxidant potential of the strain ADR1 has been extensively characterized, its complete genome sequence remains to be investigated for further insights into its biosynthetic potential. This study presents the complete genome sequence analysis of the strain ADR1 to provide a robust genomic foundation for understanding its metabolic versatility and biosynthesis of compounds with therapeutic significance. DATA DESCRIPTION: The ADR1 genome was sequenced using Illumina HiSeq. The assembly comprised 262 scaffolds with a total genome size of 8.4 Mb and G + C content of 72.5%, containing 7427 protein-coding genes. AntiSMASH and IIT-Hyderabad novelBGC analysis revealed 39 biosynthetic gene clusters, including non-ribosomal peptide synthetases, type I polyketide synthases, terpene and melanin clusters, correlating with the diverse therapeutic compounds previously identified through GC-MS analysis. This high-quality genome provides crucial insights into the biosynthetic potential underlying potent antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the strain ADR1.
