Abstract
The draft genome sequence of Paracoccus sp. strain JM45, isolated from a marine sponge harvested off the west coast of Ireland, is reported here. Quorum sensing and quorum sensing inhibition activities have been reported recently for this bacterium, and genomic analysis supports its potential use for novel therapeutic development.
Highlights
The draft genome sequence of Paracoccus sp. strain JM45, isolated from a marine sponge harvested off the west coast of Ireland, is reported here
Two potential acyl homoserine lactone (AHL)-based quorum sensing systems were found in scaffolds 7 and 18
Both systems are related to the production of long-chain AHLs, consistent with our previous finding of AHL-based quorum sensing (QS) activity in this isolate [7], which was confirmed using the Agrobacterium tumefaciens NTL4 biosensor strain [12]
Summary
The draft genome sequence of Paracoccus sp. strain JM45, isolated from a marine sponge harvested off the west coast of Ireland, is reported here. Depth provided 45ϫ coverage of the genome. The draft genome assembly comprised 84 contigs with an N50 value of 167,336 grouped into 81 scaffolds with a total size of 3,602,847 bp and an overall GC content of 59.1%.
