Genome Sequence of Dyella japonica Strain A8, a Quorum-Quenching Bacterium That Degrades N -Acylhomoserine Lactones, Isolated from Malaysian Tropical Soil

Abstract

Dyella japonica strain A8 is a Malaysian tropical soil bacterial strain which shows N-acylhomoserine lactone-degrading activity. Here, we present its draft genome sequence. A putative quorum-quenching gene was identified based on the genome sequence analysis of strain A8. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first genome announcement of a member from the genus of Dyella, and this is also the first work that reports the quorum-quenching activity of Dyella japonica.
