Abstract
ABSTRACTInvestigation of the Hudson Valley watershed reveals many violacein-producing bacteria. These are of interest for their biotherapeutic potential in treating chytrid infections of amphibians. The draft whole-genome sequences for seven Janthinobacterium isolates with a variety of phenotypes are provided in this study.
Highlights
The Hudson Valley watershed is home to a large number of vibrantly colored bacterial isolates [1]
Reads were assembled with a modified version of a previously published local pipeline [12]
The draft whole-genome assemblies ranged from a high of 70 contigs for BJB426 to a low of 22 contigs for BJB446 (Table 1)
Summary
The Hudson Valley watershed is home to a large number of vibrantly colored bacterial isolates [1]. Genomic DNA extraction was completed with the Qiagen Gentra Puregene Yeast/ Bact. Reads were assembled with a modified version of a previously published local pipeline [12]. Reads were subsequently quality filtered using BBDuk from the BBMap package version 37.50, keeping to a Q score cutoff of 10 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/bbmap).
