Abstract
Xenorhabdus nematophila strain C2-3, which belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae, was isolated from entomopathogenic nematodes collected in the Republic of Korea. Herein, we report a 4.38-Mbp draft genome sequence of X. nematophila strain C2-3, with a 43.6% G+C content. The RAST annotation analysis revealed 4,994 protein-coding sequences in the draft genome.
Highlights
Xenorhabdus spp. are Enterobacteriaceae, symbiotic bacteria associated with soil nematodes such as Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae spp. [1]
Bacterial strain C2-3 was isolated from nematodes collected in the Republic of Korea
The strain was identified through 16S rRNA sequence comparison, which revealed 99.8% sequence similarity with Xenorhabdus nematophila ATCC 19061, and it was named Xenorhabdus nematophila strain C2-3
Summary
Xenorhabdus spp. are Enterobacteriaceae, symbiotic bacteria associated with soil nematodes such as Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae spp. [1]. Xenorhabdus spp. are Enterobacteriaceae, symbiotic bacteria associated with soil nematodes such as Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae spp. Entomopathogenic bacteria symbiotically associated with nematodes are of great interest as biocontrol agents against insect pests [2, 3]. Xenorhabdus spp. are virulent pathogens synthesizing proteins and other secondary metabolites, such as benzylideneacetone, iodinine, phenethylamides, xenorhabdins, xenorxides, and xenocoumacins, involved in pathogenicity against a wide range of insects [4].
