Summary: | Marine symbiotic actinomycetes play a key role in drug development and their ecological niches can influence a variety of natural product biosynthesis, providing potential defensive benefits. In this study, we report the whole-genome sequence analysis of marine gastropod mollusk <i>Planaxis</i> sp.-associated <i>Streptomyces griseus</i> SCSIO PteL053, which harbors 28 putative biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). Among them, two BGCs encoded by a hybrid non-ribosomal peptide (NRPS)/polyketide (PKS) synthetase and non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) are responsible for the synthesis of the known therapeutic metabolites 2,2′-bipyridine and actinomycin analogs, respectively. Detailed bioinformatics analysis revealed the putative BGCs and the functions of the involved genes in the biosynthesis of the known compounds SF2738D (<b>1</b>), SF2738F (<b>2</b>), actinomycin D (<b>3</b>), and Actinomycin X<sub>oβ</sub> (<b>4</b>). In the present study, complete-genome sequencing allowed us to rediscover known, clinically useful secondary metabolites in the newly isolated <i>Streptomyces griseus</i> SCSIO PteL053.
