Abstract:
Phytopathogens with multi-drug resistance are emerging frequently, resulting in various disease outbreaks. Hence, exploring new antimicrobials is urgent. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Streptomyces carpaticus FH1 strain, with the potential to produce various antimicrobial compounds. Genomic annotation revealed various genes encoding kanamycin, ectoine, and naringerin.
