Abstract
Burkholderia sp. strain THE68 is a bacterial symbiont isolated from the midgut crypts of a phytophagous stink bug, Togo hemipterus Here, we report the complete 7.98-Mb genome of this symbiont, which consists of six circular replicons containing 7,238 protein coding genes.
Highlights
Burkholderia sp. strain THE68 is a bacterial symbiont isolated from the midgut crypts of a phytophagous stink bug, Togo hemipterus
Genome comparisons with other Burkholderia symbionts [3, 4] suggested that four replicons are chromosomes and two are plasmids, the assignments should be carefully confirmed in further studies
According to the proposed criterion based on genomic data [14], strain THE68 isolated from T. hemipterus is a different species than the two Burkholderia symbionts isolated from R. pedetris
Summary
Burkholderia sp. strain THE68 is a bacterial symbiont isolated from the midgut crypts of a phytophagous stink bug, Togo hemipterus. The complete genome of strain THE68 is 7,982,451 bp (coverage, 234ϫ; GC content, 63.1%; completeness, 99.60%; contamination, 2.03%) and consists of six circular replicons containing 7,238 protein coding genes, 16 rRNAs, and 68 tRNAs. Genome comparisons with other Burkholderia symbionts [3, 4] suggested that four replicons are chromosomes and two are plasmids, the assignments should be carefully confirmed in further studies.
