Abstract
Streptococcus parauberis is a coccoid, nonmotile, alpha-hemolytic, Gram-positive bacterium of the Streptococcaceae family. Streptococcus parauberis strain KCTC11980 was isolated from the kidney of a diseased olive flounder collected from an aquaculture farm on Jeju Island in 2010. The 2.12-Mb genome sequence consists of 44 large contigs in 16 scaffolds and contains 2,214 predicted protein-coding genes, with a G+C content of 35.4%.
Highlights
Streptococcus parauberis is a coccoid, nonmotile, alpha-hemolytic, Gram-positive bacterium of the Streptococcaceae family
Streptococcus parauberis was first described as the etiologic agent of bovine mastitis [4] and later found to cause streptococcosis in cultured turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) in Spain [5, 6]
We sequenced the genome of S. parauberis because it had not been sequenced at the time our sequencing project began, according to the Genomes OnLine Database (GOLD) [10]
Summary
Streptococcus parauberis is a coccoid, nonmotile, alpha-hemolytic, Gram-positive bacterium of the Streptococcaceae family. Streptococcosis mediated by streptococci, such as Streptococcus iniae and S. parauberis, has been a major cause of mass mortality in marine aquaculture systems [1,2,3]. Streptococcus parauberis was first described as the etiologic agent of bovine mastitis [4] and later found to cause streptococcosis in cultured turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) in Spain [5, 6].
