Abstract
We report the draft genome sequences of Sarcina ventriculi strains 14 and 17, both isolated from feces of wild Yakushima macaques (Macaca fuscata yakui). These genomic sequences will be helpful for the phylogenetic consideration of the family Clostridiaceae and understanding of the contribution of intestinal microbiota to the survival of Yakushima macaques.
Highlights
We report the draft genome sequences of Sarcina ventriculi strains 14 and 17, both isolated from feces of wild Yakushima macaques (Macaca fuscata yakui)
Sarcina ventriculi was first recorded in 1842 in human gastric contents [1] and was demonstrated to have wide distribution with relatively high population density in humans [2]. This Grampositive coccus is well known for its tetrad formation and has been recognized as a causative agent for gastric disorders in both humans and livestock [3, 4]
As complete assembly of the 16S rRNA genes was not achieved, we obtained the 16S rRNA gene sequences of each strain by mapping Miseq reads to the S. ventriculi DSM286 16S rRNA (X76649)
Summary
We report the draft genome sequences of Sarcina ventriculi strains 14 and 17, both isolated from feces of wild Yakushima macaques (Macaca fuscata yakui). They were identified as S. ventriclui by partial 16S rRNA gene sequence as indicated elsewhere [5]. Illumina Miseq produced 2,278,246 and 3,479,870 pair-ended reads, respectively, for genomes of strains 14 and 17.
