April 22, 2026Open Access

Whole-genome sequences of two novel chitinolytic bacterial strains within the genera Streptomyces and Pseudomonas

Key Points

To characterize two novel chitinolytic bacterial strains through whole-genome sequencing.
Isolated strains from soil samples using chitin-amended Winogradsky medium.
Conducted whole-genome analyses to determine sizes and G + C content.
Strain Streptomyces sp. CLCI03 has a genome size of 8.68 Mb and G + C content of 71.75%.
Strain Pseudomonas sp. CLCA07 has a genome size of 6.73 Mb and G + C content of 58.53%.
Both strains are proposed as putative novel species based on genomic data.

Abstract

Streptomyces sp. CLCI03 and Pseudomonas sp. CLCA07 were isolated from soil suspensions cultured on chitin-amended Winogradsky medium. Whole-genome analyses of these two strains revealed genome sizes of 8.68 and 6.73 Mb with G + C contents of 71.75% and 58.53%, respectively, and suggest that these strains represent two putative novel species.
