Genome Sequencing of Streptomyces nov. sp. YS-B37, a Strain Involved in the Biotransformation of p-Hydroxybenzoate from Cork with Yellow Stain.. Streptomyces sp. YS-B37

Draft genome of Streptomyces sp. YS-B37, isolated from cork planks affected by yellow stain. This strain is capable of transforming p-hydroxybenzoate into phenol, a key intermediate in the microbial production of chlorophenols and chloroanisoles (including 2,4,6-trichloroanisole), compounds responsible for cork taint in wine. The genome provides insights into the metabolic pathways involved in aromatic compound biotransformation and microbial degradation of lignin and suberin.
