The draft genome of strain DSM 43854T consists of 9,223,451 bp with a G + C content of 69.0% and the genome contains 3 rRNA genes (5S?23S?16S) and 58 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase genes. The homology searches revealed that the PKS gene clusters are supposed to be responsible for the biosynthesis of naptomycin, macbecin, rifamycin, mitomycin, maduropeptin enediyne, neocarzinostatin enediyne, C-1027 enediyne, calicheamicin enediyne, landomycin, simocyclinone, medermycin, granaticin, polyketomycin, teicoplanin, balhimycin, vancomycin, staurosporine, rubradirin and complestatin. %K mycolatopsis azurea strain DSM 43854T; Illumina-HiSeq; NGS QC tool kit;Rapid Annotations using Subsystems Technology (RAST) %P 44 - 45 %V 2 %D 2014 %I Elsevier Science %L open1502
