Streptomyces
griseus IFO 13350 Genome
Streptomyces griseus IFO 13350 is a soil bacterium producing an antituberculosis
agent, streptomycin, which is the first aminoglycoside antibiotic discovered
more than 60 years ago. The linear chromosome consists of 8,545,929 bp, with an
average GC content of 72.2%, predicting 7138 open reading frames, six ribosomal
RNA operons (16S-23S-5S), and 66 tRNA genes. It contains extremely long
terminal inverted repeats (TIRs) of 132,910 bp each.
The nucleotide sequence has been deposited in the
DDBJ database under the accession no. AP009493.
Details of the microarray design, transcriptome experimental design, and
transcriptome data have been deposited in the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus
under the accession no. GSE9882.
