Complete Genome Sequence of <i>Streptomyces lavendulae</i> subsp. <i>lavendulae</i> CCM 3239 (Formerly “ <i>Streptomyces aureofaciens</i> CCM 3239”), a Producer of the Angucycline-Type Antibiotic Auricin

Abstract

<i>Streptomyces lavendulae</i> subsp. <i>lavendulae</i> CCM 3239 produces the angucycline antibiotic auricin and was thought to be the type strain of <i>Streptomyces aureofaciens</i> We report the complete genome sequence of this strain, which consists of a linear chromosome and the linear plasmid pSA3239, and demonstrate it to be <i>S. lavendulae</i> subsp. <i>lavendulae</i>.
