Draft genome sequences of a putative novel subspecies of Streptococcus isolated from wastewater

Key Points

• The study aims to characterize two novel Streptococcus strains isolated from wastewater and propose their classification as a new subspecies.
• Isolation of Streptococcus strains from Shenzhen wastewater.
• Genome sequencing performed on strains FT1-55 and FT1-106.
• Phylogenetic analysis to determine relatedness with other Streptococcus species.
• The strains demonstrate high relatedness to Streptococcus orisratti with 97.8%-98.0% nucleotide identity.
• Genomes are approximately 2.35 Mb in size with a GC content of around 38.5%.
• The phylogenetic analysis supports the classification of the strains as Streptococcus orisratti subsp. futianensis.
