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.
