After screening for the presence of genes involved in the biosynsthetic pathways, such as type I polyketide synthase (PKS I), type II polyketide synthase (PKS II), nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS), aminodeoxyisochorismate synthase (phzE), and cytochrome P450 hydroxylase (CYP), Streptomyces artemisiae MCCB 248 was found to have type I polyketide synthase (PKS I) (GenBank accession number KT251042) and nonribosomal peptide synthase (NRPS) (KT277491) genes. After NCBI GenBank BLASTX searching, the PKS 1 nucleotide sequence had its closest match with Streptomyces sp. ID05-A0179 (83%). Phylogenetic analysis of the S. artemisiae MCCB248 PKS 1 using translated nucleic acid sequences revealed that it formed a separate cluster along with Streptomyces himastatinicus ATCC 53653 and Streptomyces aurantiacus JA4570 (Supplementary material). Blast analysis of the NRPS sequence from S. artemisiae MCCB248 showed that it had closest similarity (83%) with one from Streptomyces sp. SCAU5132. Phylogenetic analysis of this NRPS using the deduced amino acid sequence positioned S. artemisiae MCCB 248 as a distinct clade in the tree (Supplementary material).
