Key Points

To present draft genome sequences of two _Streptomyces_ strains from Atacama Desert soil.
Isolated two _Streptomyces_ strains from Atacama Desert soil in Chile.
Determined genome sizes of 7.9 Mbp and 8.0 Mbp for strains H62 and H72.
Analyzed GC content, revealing values of 72.4% and 72.3%.
Identified multiple biosynthetic gene clusters in the strains.
Strain H62 has a genome size of 7.9 Mbp and GC content of 72.4%.
Strain H72 has a genome size of 8.0 Mbp and GC content of 72.3%.
Both strains harbor multiple biosynthetic gene clusters, suggesting potential for natural product synthesis.

Implication

Researchers reveal draft genome sequences in Streptomyces strains, indicating potential biosynthetic pathways.

Abstract

We report draft genome sequences of two Streptomyces strains isolated from Atacama Desert soil in Chile. Strains H62 and H72 have genome sizes of 7.9 and 8.0 Mbp with GC contents of 72.4% and 72.3%, respectively, and harbor multiple biosynthetic gene clusters.
