The genus Amycolatopsis, which was first proposed by Lechevalier et al. (1986), belongs to the family Pseudonocardiaceae, class Actinobacteria. Amycolatopsis spp. are Gram-positive, non-acid-fast, and non-motile actinomycetes bacteria. Various habitats induce Amycolatopsis to produce secondary metabolites abundantly (Ding et al., 2019; Kim et al., 2021; Song et al., 2021). The complete genome sequence of Amycolatopsis sp. FBCC-B4732 was isolated from a hyporheic freshwater sample collected in South Korea during the screening process for bacteria with antimicrobial activity. The original colony was obtained by isolating a freshwater suspension through serial dilution and plating on an R2A medium. The plate was then incubated for 1 week at 28°C.

A single colony of Amycolatopsis sp. FBCC-B4732 was grown for 3 days in R2A agar (BD Difco) at 28°C. Genomic DNA was extracted using the DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (Qiagen), following the manufacturer’s instructions. DNA quantity and quality were checked with a Qubit fluorometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and gel electrophoresis, respectively. The whole genome was sequenced using a combination of the PacBio Sequel I (Pacific Biosciences) and Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platforms (150-bp paired-end reads) (Illumina). For PacBio sequencing, DNA was fragmented to 20 kb using a g-TUBE (Covaris), and a DNA library was constructed using a SMRTbell template prep kit (Pacific Biosciences). For NovaSeq sequencing, DNA was fragmented to 350 bp using a Covaris LE220 ultrasonicator (Covaris), and a DNA library was constructed using a TruSeq DNA PCR-free library prep kit (Illumina). For NovaSeq sequencing, genomic DNA was randomly fragmented by an Ultrasonic breaker (Covaris) to an average size of 350 bp, and a DNA library was constructed using a TruSeq DNA PCR-free library prep kit (Illumina). The library quality was analyzed by Qubit and quantitative PCR (qPCR), and the average fragment size was estimated using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. De novo assembly was performed using CANU v.1.7 software (Koren et al., 2017). The genome was annotated using the NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP) after being submitted to GenBank (Tatusova et al., 2016). Bacterial identification utilizing whole genome sequences was conducted on the TrueBac^TM ID system, a cloud-based service (ChunLab Inc.) (Ha et al., 2019) to reveal the genuine identification of bacterial isolates using a multitude of methods. Biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) were assessed using antiSMASH version 6.1.1 (Blin et al., 2021). Antimicrobial resistance gene sequences were identified with AMRFinder v3.9.8 (Feldgarden et al., 2019). All bioinformatics tools were used with default parameters.

PacBio sequencing yielded a total of 101,001 subreads (mean subread length, 8,695 bp) with an N50 value of 11,301 bp, totaling 878,240,383 bp. A total of 8,426,622 raw Illumina paired-end total reads were generated, and 4,274,142 filtered reads were used for error correction with Pilon v1.21 (Walker et al., 2014) for the final genome assembly. With the long and short reads combined, the total sequence data generated for 75.1× coverage. The complete genome sequence of Amycolatopsis sp. FBCC-B4732 consists of one circular chromosome with 10,190,959 bp and a GC content of 71.5%. The genome annotation predicted 9,120 protein coding DNA sequences (Table 1), which included 12 rRNAs, 51 tRNAs, and 3 ncRNAs. Here, using TrueBac ID system for bacterial identification based on the whole genome sequence of the FBCC-B4732 strain, it could be identified as new Amycolatopsis species (Supplementary data Table S1) (Richter and Rosselló-Móra, 2009; Meier-Kolthoff et al., 2013). However, further polyphasic research is required to confirm this taxonomic position. We identified various antibacterial genes in the genome of strain FBCC-B4732. AntiSMASH shell analysis revealed that the genome harbors 37 biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). The genome of strain FBCC-B4732 contained a variety of biosynthetic gene clusters for secondary metabolites (Supplementary data Table S2), particularly those for type I polyketide synthase (PKS) and non-ribosomal peptide synthases (NRPS). Other gene clusters included those for ectoin, beta-lactone, RiPP clusters, and multiple terpene clusters. AMRFinder identified genes and mutations that confer resistance to rifamycin monooxygenases (rox), D-Ala-D-Ala dipeptidase VanX (vanX), β-lactamase (bla), and Cmx/mrA family chloramphenicol efflux MFS transporter (cmx-cmrA). The complete genome sequence of Amycolatopsis sp. FBCC-B4732 can provide information for the synthesis of antimicrobial compounds.
