Abstract
ABSTRACTA draft genome sequence of Rathayibacter sp. strain VKM Ac-2630 was derived using Ion Torrent sequencing technology. The genome size of this strain is 3.88 Mb, with an average G+C content of 72.0%. Genomic evidence of an aerobic mode of respiration and a heterotrophic lifestyle of this bacterium was obtained.
Highlights
A draft genome sequence of Rathayibacter sp. strain VKM Ac-2630 was derived using Ion Torrent sequencing technology
Strain VKM Ac-2630 was isolated from the leaf gall induced by the knapweed nematode Mesoanguina picridis (Anguinidae) on Acroptilon repens (Asteraceae) in Uzbekistan
The above data suggest that strain VKM Ac-2630 represents a novel species in the genus Rathayibacter
Summary
A draft genome sequence of Rathayibacter sp. strain VKM Ac-2630 was derived using Ion Torrent sequencing technology. Strain VKM Ac-2630 was isolated from the leaf gall induced by the knapweed nematode Mesoanguina picridis (Anguinidae) on Acroptilon repens (Asteraceae) in Uzbekistan. The strain showed 99.79% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the type strain of the phylogenetically closest species, R. caricis [7]. The DNA-DNA hybridization value between these strains, obtained by a thermal denaturation method [8], was 56.8% Ϯ 1.8%, which is below 70%, a threshold for circumscribing species genomically [9, 10].
