Streptomyces Flavimicrosus Genome and Thiolutin Bioactivity Data

A novel Streptomyces species, strain HMX112T, was isolated from a soil sample in the Turpan-Hami Basin, China. The dataset includes genomic analysis confirming its novel status and details the isolation of the antibiotic thiolutin, which shows a MIC of 16 μg/mL against two MRSA strains. Authored by Xiaomin Niu and last updated in March 2026, the data is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomic analysis based on the reported ANI and dDDH values for novel species delineation.
• Studying thiolutin's biosynthetic pathway based on the elucidated genomic analysis.
• Screening for anti-MRSA compounds based on the reported MIC values of 16 μg/mL.
• Investigating antimicrobial activity against plant pathogens based on the reported >70% inhibition rates at 50 μg/mL.

Strengths

• Includes specific MIC values (16 μg/mL) for thiolutin against two MRSA strains.
• Provides precise genetic similarity metrics (e.g., 98.83% 16S rRNA similarity to related strains).
• Documents a novel Streptomyces species validated by polyphasic taxonomic analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary data format is a DOCX file (180.2 KB), which may require extraction of structured data.
