Abstract
We present the draft genome sequence of Legionella massiliensis strain LegAT, recovered from a cooling tower water sample, using an amoebal coculture procedure. The strain described here is composed of 4,387,007 bp, with a G+C content of 41.19%, and its genome has 3,767 protein-coding genes and 60 predicted RNA genes.
Highlights
We present the draft genome sequence of Legionella massiliensis strain LegAT, recovered from a cooling tower water sample, using an amoebal coculture procedure
Legionella massiliensis strain LegAT was isolated from an environmental water sample from a cooling tower located in South France, using an amoebal coculture procedure [1]
The strain L. massiliensis LegAT is unable to grow on Columbia with 5% sheep blood agar and is able to grow after 3 days on buffered charcoal yeast extract (BCYE) medium under a 5% CO2 atmosphere
Summary
We present the draft genome sequence of Legionella massiliensis strain LegAT, recovered from a cooling tower water sample, using an amoebal coculture procedure. Legionella massiliensis strain LegAT was isolated from an environmental water sample from a cooling tower located in South France, using an amoebal coculture procedure [1]. Based on the sequencing of the complete 16S rRNA gene, using BLASTn [2], the closest related species is Legionella birminghamensis Regarding the macrophage infectivity potentiator (mip) gene, strain LegAT exhibits 78% similarity with Legionella feeleii
