Abstract
The Pedobacter sp. Hv1 strain was isolated from the medicinal leech, Hirudo verbana, mucosal castings. These mucosal sheds have been demonstrated to play a role in horizontal symbiont transmission. Here, we report the draft 4.9 Mbp genome sequence of Pedobacter sp. strain Hv1.
Highlights
The genus Pedobacter was reclassified from the genus Sphingobacterium in 1998 [1] due to various phenotypic variations
Members of the Pedobacter genus have been described from water and soil samples, as well as from the microbiotas of nematodes, dung beetles, and mosquitoes [2,3,4]
An additional assembly was generated using AbySS [8] with varying k-mer lengths, which were aligned with the CLC assembly using Mauve [9, 10]
Summary
Members of the Pedobacter genus have been described from water and soil samples, as well as from the microbiotas of nematodes, dung beetles, and mosquitoes [2,3,4]. Strain Hv1 was identified as the most abundant bacterium within the mucosal casts of medicinal leeches (Hirudo verbana) [5]. We present a draft genome of Pedobacter sp.
