Genome sequences of five Streptomyces type strains ( Streptomyces argenteolus , Streptomyces pratensis , Streptomyces puniceus , Streptomyces spiroverticillatus , and Streptomyces sundarbansensis )

ABSTRACT The genus Streptomyces is one of the largest prokaryotic taxa, including more than 800 species. Sequencing type strain genomes is essential to facilitate the identification of new isolates and the description of novel species. Here, we present the genome sequences of five Streptomyces type strains.
