Whole genome sequence data of a chitinolytic actinomycete, Streptomyces californicus TBG-201

The whole genome sequence data of a chitinolytic actinomycete, Streptomyces californicus TBG-201, is presented here. The organism was isolated from the soil samples of the Vandanam sacred groves of Alleppey District in Kerala (9.4946o N, 76.3311o E). Whole genome sequencing was done using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencing platform with a 2 x 150bp pair-end protocol. The sequenced read was assembled using Velvet v. 1.2.10. The length of the genome assembly was found to be 7.99 Mb. The genome has 72.60% GC content, 6683 protein-coding genes, 31 rRNAs, 66 tRNAs, and 116 pseudogenes. The presence of biosynthetic gene clusters was identified using antiSMASH. The carbohydrate-active enzyme coding genes were identified by CAZy analysis using the dbCAN meta server. Genome annotation using NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline provides insights into its chitinolytic activity. The whole-genome sequence was submitted to NCBI under the accession number JAJDST000000000.
