ABSTRACT: Streptomyces sp. are actinobacteria, which are generally known to be prolific producers of antibiotics and various antimicrobial compounds. More than 90% of the reported Streptomyces sp. are known to be isolated from soil samples. Exploring the genomes of such actinobacteria has sparked interest in finding bioactive secondary metabolites after the remarkable breadth of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) for antibacterial compounds was discovered. Streptomyces sp. PSAA01 was obtained from soil samples taken in Manas National Park, Assam, India. It was discovered that this strain and S. yatensis DSM 41771T are closely related. The strain PSAA01 has been found to harbour diverse biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), which might be responsible for the production of many significant bioactive secondary metabolites.
