Abstract
We previously identified and presented the draft genome of a Xanthomonadaceae bacterial strain Dyella japonica A8 which shows quorum-quenching activity. Here, we report the complete, closed genome sequence of this bacterium. This complete genome may help to further investigate the comparative quorum-quenching activity among D. japonica strains.
Highlights
We previously identified and presented the draft genome of a Xanthomonadaceae bacterial strain Dyella japonica A8 which shows quorum-quenching activity
A paired-end library was constructed at 8 kb span with the genomic DNA of D. japonica strain A8 previously prepared [10] using the GS FLX Titanium Paired-End Adaptor Set (Roche) according to the manufacturer’s protocol
A shotgun library was constructed with the GS FLX Titanium Rapid Library Preparation Kit (Roche)
Summary
We previously identified and presented the draft genome of a Xanthomonadaceae bacterial strain Dyella japonica A8 which shows quorum-quenching activity. Intercellular communication among bacterial populations relies on quorum-sensing (QS) mechanisms which involve a number of signaling molecules that initiate coordinated responses across a population [1, 2]. Recent studies have focused on inhibiting such quorumsensing pathways, known as quorum quenching, in order to achieve a therapeutic purpose [7, 8, 9]. A member of the Xanthomonadaceae family, Dyella japonica strain A8, was isolated from a Malaysian tropical soil layer and was proposed to possess quorum-quenching properties [10].
