Draft genome sequence data of the endophytic actinobacterium Streptomyces justiciae WPN32, a potential bioactive compounds producer

Abstract

Streptomyces justiciae WPN32 is an endophytic actinobacterium isolated from the rhizosphere of turmeric field soil at the Botanical Garden of Suranaree University of Technology (Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand). Here we present the draft genome sequence of S. justiciae WPN32. It was sequenced on the Illumina NextSeq 550 sequencer. The draft genome consisted of 123 contigs with a total size of 9,832,147 base pairs, an N50 of 237,572 base pairs and a GC content of 70.87%. The dDDH between WPN32 and Streptomyces justiciae 3R004T was 80.1%, identifying the strain as Streptomyces justiciae. The data presented here may aid microbial taxonomy, comparative genomics and identification of gene clusters associated with the synthesis of bioactive compounds. The draft genome sequence data has been deposited at NCBI under Bioproject accession number PRJNA680432.
