Genome sequences of marine streptomycetes are valuable for the discovery of useful enzymes and bioactive compounds by genome mining. However, publicly available complete genome sequences of marine streptomycetes are still limited. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of a marine streptomyceteStreptomycessp. S063 CGMCC 14582. Species delineation based on the pairwise digital DNA-DNA hybridization and genome comparison ANI (average nucleotide identity) value showed thatStreptomycessp. S063 CGMCC 14582 possesses a unique genome that is clearly different from all of the other available genomes. Bioactivity tests showed thatStreptomycessp. S063 CGMCC 14582 produces metabolites with anti-complement activities, which are useful for treatment of numerous diseases that arise from inappropriate activation of the human complement system. Analysis of the genome reveals no biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) which shows even low similarity to that of the known anti-complement agents was detected in the genome, indicating thatStreptomycessp. S063 CGMCC 14582 may produce novel anti-complement agents of microbial origin. Four BGCs which are potentially involved in biosynthesis of non-ribosomal peptides were disrupted, but no decrease of anti-complement activities was observed, suggesting that these four BGCs are not involved in biosynthesis of the anti-complement agents. In addition, LC-MS/MS analysis and subsequent alignment through the Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking (GNPS) platform led to the detection of novel peptides produced by the strain.Streptomycessp. S063 CGMCC 14582 grows rapidly and is salt tolerant, which benefits efficient secondary metabolite production via seawater-based fermentation. Our results indicate thatStreptomycessp. S063 has great potential to produce novel bioactive compounds, and also is a good host for heterologous production of useful secondary metabolites for drug discovery.
