Complete genome sequence of the kirromycin producer Streptomyces collinus Tu 365 consisting of a linear chromosome and two linear plasmids

Streptomyces collinus Tu 365 (DSMZ 40733), isolated from Kouroussa (Guinea), is the producer of the elfamycin family antibiotic kirromycin, which inhibits bacterial protein biosynthesis by interfering with elongation factor EF-Tu. Here, we report on the Streptomyces collinus Tu 365 complete genome sequence of the 8.27 MB chromosome and the two plasmids SCO1 and SCO2. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
