Abstract

Streptomyces sp. strain CFMR 7, which naturally degrades rubber, was isolated from a rubber plantation. Whole genome sequencing and assembly resulted in 2 contigs with total genome size of 8.248 Mb. Two latex clearing protein (lcp) genes which are responsible for rubber degrading activities were identified.

Keywords: Latex clearing protein (lcp) genes; Natural rubber degradation; Streptomyces sp. strain CFMR 7.
