Streptomyces coelicolor is a soil-dwelling Gram-positive bacterium that belongs to the genus Streptomyces.[1]
Genome
The genome of one strain of S. coelicolor was sequenced in 2002.[2] It contains 8,667,507 bp, encoding 7,825 predicted genes, including over 20 gene clusters for the synthesis of known or predicted natural products.
Usage in biotechnology
Strains of S. coelicolor produce various antibiotics, including actinorhodin, methylenomycin, undecylprodigiosin,[3] and perimycin.[4][5] Certain strains of S. coelicolor can be used for heterologous protein expression.[1]
