Abstract

<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Streptomyces</jats:italic> <jats:italic>bingchenggensis</jats:italic> is a soil-dwelling bacterium producing the commercially important anthelmintic macrolide milbemycins. Besides milbemycins, the insecticidal polyether antibiotic nanchangmycin and some other antibiotics have also been isolated from this strain. Here we report the complete genome sequence of <jats:italic>S</jats:italic> . <jats:italic>bingchenggensis</jats:italic> . The availability of the genome sequence of <jats:italic>S</jats:italic> . <jats:italic>bingchenggensis</jats:italic> should enable us to understand the biosynthesis of these structurally intricate antibiotics better and facilitate rational improvement of this strain to increase their titers.
