(A) Sources of the 205 streptomycetes used in this study. (B) Phylogenetic tree of the 205 streptomycetes using the 16S rRNA sequences. Sequences were aligned using PhyML. Red boxes indicate S. bingchenggensis BCW-1 and S. viridosporus ATCC 39115. (C) Clusters of the 205 strains based on the similarity of the 25 CAZymes families (see Fig. S3 for further information) and the relative numbers of CAZymes and CAZyme groups encoded in each genome. (D) Completeness of the protocatechuate and catechol catabolic pathways encoded in each genome. The pathway is complete if the genome encoded all the 6 enzymes each pathway requires. S. bingchenggensis BCW-1 and S. viridosporus ATCC 39115 encode the complete β-ketoadipate pathway responsible for protocatechuate and catechol catabolism. S. bingchenggensis BCW-1 also encodes a variety of CAZymes likely to be involved in polysaccharide depolymerization.
