RESUMEN
The draft genome sequence of the type strain Saccharopolyspora hirsuta subsp. hirsuta VKM Ac-666 was sequenced. This moderately thermophilic actinobacterial strain of sugarcane bagasse origin is able to transform different steroid substrates.
RESUMEN
The 23-membered macrolide tacrolimus (FK506) is an important immunosuppressant that is widely used in the prevention of graft rejection and in the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases and immune diseases. We report here the draft genome sequence of the FK506 producer Streptomyces tsukubensis VKM Ac-2618D.
RESUMEN
Mycobacterium sp. strain VKM Ac-1817D is capable of converting phytosterol into 9α-hydroxy androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (9-OH-AD), which is a valuable intermediate for the steroid pharmaceutical industry. Here, a complete genome sequence of the strain is reported. The genome consists of a single circular 6,324,222-bp chromosome with a G+C content of 66.2% and encodes approximately 6,000 CDSs, 54 tRNAs, and 6 rRNAs.
RESUMEN
Nocardioides simplex VKM Ac-2033D is an effective microbial catalyst for 3-ketosteroid 1(2)-dehydrogenation, and it is capable of effective reduction of carbonyl groups at C-17 and C-20, hydrolysis of acetylated steroids, and utilization of natural sterols. Here, the complete genome sequence is reported. An array of genes related to steroid metabolic pathways have been identified.
RESUMEN
Mycobacterium neoaurum strain VKM Ac-1815D produces 4-androstene-3,17-dione as a major compound from phytosterols. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the strain. The genome consists of a single circular 5,438,190-bp chromosome, with a G+C content of 66.88%, containing 5,318 putative open reading frames (ORFs), 46 tRNAs, and 6 rRNAs. Arrays of cholesterol metabolism genes are randomly clustered throughout the chromosome.
