Draft Genome Sequence of the Rifamycin Producer Amycolatopsis rifamycinica DSM 46095

ABSTRACT Amycolatopsis rifamycinica DSM 46095 is an actinobacterium that produces rifamycin SV, an antibiotic used against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Here, we present the draft genome of DSM 46095, which harbors a novel rifamycin polyketide biosynthetic gene cluster ( rif PKS) that differed by 10% in nucleotide sequence from the already reported rif PKS cluster of Amycolatopsis mediterranei S699.
