Abstract

We sequenced the genome of a bacterial species recently isolated from fresh water at Dripping Springs, NM, and identified it as Chryseobacterium viscerum This species had previously been isolated only from dead or diseased fish. This report shows that C. viscerum can be found in nature as a free-living species not associated with diseased fish.

Highlights

We sequenced the genome of a bacterial species recently isolated from fresh water at Dripping Springs, NM, and identified it as Chryseobacterium viscerum
Our strain clearly belongs to C. viscerum, and we designated it Chryseobacterium viscerum strain DPS (Dripping Springs)
All other chryseobacteria that have been sequenced have less than 80% average nucleotide identity (ANI) and are clearly below the proposed 95% cutoff for genome definition of a species (13)
