Complete Genome Sequence of Actinomadura parvosata subsp. kistnae. Genome Actinomadura parvosata

The soil dwelling actinomycete strain Actinomadura parvosata subsp. kistnae is the producer of the antiviral antibiotics kistamicin A and B. Genome sequencing and bioinformatic analysis revealed a very large genome possessing an impressive number of yet uncharacterized biosynthetic pathways. This includes polyketide, ribosomal and non-ribosomal peptide and a large number of terpenoid biosynthetic loci. The genomic data of this strain is thus a treasure trove for genome mining for novel functional metabolites and new biocatalysts.
