Abstract
We report the draft genome sequence of Prosthecomicrobium hirschii ATCC 27832T, an alphaproteobacterium with remarkable cellular morphologies. The chromosome comprises 6,484,983 bp in six scaffolds with a G+C content of 69%, and 6,066 potential coding sequences.
Highlights
We report the draft genome sequence of Prosthecomicrobium hirschii ATCC 27832T, an alphaproteobacterium with remarkable cellular morphologies
The alphaproteobacterium Prosthecomicrobium hirschii produces two morphologically distinct cell types; short-stalked cells produce numerous short conical stalks, whereas long-stalked cells typically have fewer than eight long cylindrical stalks [1]
The genome sequencing of P. hirschii was initiated to facilitate an enhanced understanding of the complex dimorphic life cycle and the mechanism of cell growth in this bacterium
Summary
We report the draft genome sequence of Prosthecomicrobium hirschii ATCC 27832T, an alphaproteobacterium with remarkable cellular morphologies. The alphaproteobacterium Prosthecomicrobium hirschii produces two morphologically distinct cell types; short-stalked cells produce numerous short conical stalks, whereas long-stalked cells typically have fewer than eight long cylindrical stalks [1]. The life cycle of this bacterium is complex [1].
