Abstract
ABSTRACTWater samples from the Hudson Valley watershed indicate that the area is host to many violacein-producing bacterial isolates. Here, we report the draft whole-genome sequence of Janthinobacterium sp. strain BJB412, an isolate lacking violacein production yet containing genes responsible for prodigiosin, biofilm production, and quorum sensing, like its purple-pigmented counterparts.
Highlights
Janthinobacterium spp. are aerobic motile Gram-negative bacteria that are commonly characterized by their production of a purple metabolite, violacein [1]
Annotations for BJB412 yielded an average of 5,932 coding sequences (CDSs)
QseC) and genes related to cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) levels, biofilm production, chemotaxis-mediated biofilm dispersion, and twitching motility [25, 26]
Summary
Janthinobacterium spp. are aerobic motile Gram-negative bacteria that are commonly characterized by their production of a purple metabolite, violacein [1]. Draft assembly of the whole genome yielded 78 contigs, with an N50 value of 333,942 bp. The genome of BJB412 is predicted to be 6,786,668 bp in length, which is comparable to that of other analyzed Janthinobacterium species. Analysis revealed a GϩC content of 67.16%, while most other published Janthinobacterium genomes have a GϩC content ranging from 62 to 63% [12, 19, 20].
