In combination with local BLAST searches and gap filling techniques, a comprehensive antiSMASH-based method was adopted to assemble the secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters in the draft genome of S. ansochromogenes. A total of at least 35 putative gene clusters were identified and assembled. Transcriptional analysis showed that 20 of the 35 gene clusters were expressed in either or all of the three different media tested, whereas the other 15 gene clusters were silent in all three different media. This study provides a comprehensive method to identify and assemble secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters in draft genomes of Streptomyces, and will significantly promote functional studies of these secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters.展开更多
