Whole genome sequence data of Streptomyces californicus TBG-201, a chitinolytic actinomycete isolated from the Vandanam sacred groves of Alleppey District, Kerala, India

Abstract

This study presents the complete genome sequence of Streptomyces californicus TBG-201 isolated from the soil samples of Vandanam sacred groves in Alleppey District, Kerala, India. The organism has potent chitinolytic activity. The genome of S. californicus TBG-201 was sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq-2500 platform with 2 × 150bp pair-end protocol and assembled using Velvet version 1.2.10.0. The assembled genome has a 7.99 Mb total length, a G+C content of 72.60%, and 6683 protein-coding genes, 116 pseudogenes, 31 rRNAs, and 66 tRNAs. AntiSMASH analysis revealed abundant biosynthetic gene clusters, while the dbCAN meta server was used to detect carbohydrate-active enzyme coding genes. The NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline was used for genome annotation. The presence of numerous genes coding for chitin degradation indicates the chitinolytic ability of this strain. The genome data have been deposited in NCBI with the accession number JAJDST000000000.
