Abstract
Planifilum is a thermophilic aerobic Actinomyces often found in compost that is suggested to play a primary role in the degradation of organic matter and is a potential antibiotic-resistance gene (ARG)-hosting bacterium during the composting process. Planifilum fimeticola PLACP1 was isolated from thermophilic sludge on a Columbia plate supplemented with chloramphenicol. PLACP1 was Gram-stain-positive with cells longer than 20 μm that branched and intertwined with each other. A draft genome sequence of P. fimeticola PLACP1 was generated using the Illumina NovaSeq system and deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information database under the BioProject accession numbers PRJDB17484 and SAMD00736731. The genome sequence comprised 3,395,140 bp, with 57.97 % GC content and 3,368 genes, including 3,267 protein-coding, 6 rRNA, and 56 tRNA genes. Based on the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database, 237 predicted gene products were related to ARGs, including 44 macrolide antibiotic-related genes (19 %) as the largest group. This dataset will be beneficial for the morphological identification, comparative genomic analyses, and ARG research in the genus Planifilum.
