Abstract

ABSTRACTFeatures from two Pigmentiphaga isolates referred to Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory from human clinical materials were described previously (N. Bridger, S. Drews, T. Burdz, D. Wiebe, A. L. Pacheco, B. Ng, and K. Bernard, J Med Microbiol 62:708–711, 2013, https://doi.org/10.1099/jmm.0.051615-0). Whole-genome sequencing was performed on strains NML030171 and NML080357; the sequences were found to have 5.86 and 5.73 Mb of clean data and G+C contents of 67.5 and 66.74 mol%, respectively.

Highlights

The genus Pigmentiphaga of the family Alcaligenaceae, order Burkholderiales, class Betaproteobacteria, has three species (P. daeguensis, P. kullae, and P. litoralis), all derived from the environment
In 2013, we outlined features of two Pigmentiphaga-like isolates (National Microbiology Laboratory [NML] identifiers NML030171 and NML080357), recovered from human clinical materials; these were closest by 16S rRNA gene sequencing to the type strains of P. daeguensis (99.5% to 99.8% identity) and P. kullae (99.0 to 99.3% identity), as well as to each other (99.7% identity) (2)
We provide here the draft whole-genome sequences (WGS) for these isolates, as there do not appear to be any WGS data for Pigmentiphaga among Burkholderiales genomes available for study in the public domain

Summary

Introduction

The genus Pigmentiphaga of the family Alcaligenaceae, order Burkholderiales, class Betaproteobacteria, has three species (P. daeguensis, P. kullae, and P. litoralis) (http:// www.bacterio.net/pigmentiphaga.html), all derived from the environment. In 2013, we outlined features of two Pigmentiphaga-like isolates (National Microbiology Laboratory [NML] identifiers NML030171 and NML080357), recovered from human clinical materials; these were closest by 16S rRNA gene sequencing to the type strains of P. daeguensis (99.5% to 99.8% identity) and P. kullae (99.0 to 99.3% identity), as well as to each other (99.7% identity) (2). We provide here the draft whole-genome sequences (WGS) for these isolates, as there do not appear to be any WGS data for Pigmentiphaga among Burkholderiales genomes available for study in the public domain.
