Abstract
Enterobacter mori strain 5–4 is a Gram-negative, motile, rod shaped, and facultatively anaerobic bacterium, which was isolated from a mixture of formation water (also known as oil-reservior water) and crude-oil in Karamay oilfield, China. To date, there is only one E. mori genome has been sequenced and very little knowledge about the mechanism of E. mori adapted to the petroleum reservoir. Here, we report the second E. mori genome sequence and annotation, together with the description of features for this organism. The 4,621,281 bp assembly genome exhibits a G + C content of 56.24% and contains 4,317 protein-coding and 65 RNA genes, including 5 rRNA genes.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/1944-3277-10-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
Highlights
The genus Enterobacter was created by Hormaeche and Edwards in 1960 [1]
As of Oct, 2014, a total of 116 Enterobacter strains have been sequenced and 29 genome sequences were published [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12], only one genome of E. mori isolated from diseased mulberry roots has been sequenced [13]
It is worthy of note that E. mori strain 5–4 is capable of
Summary
The genus Enterobacter was created by Hormaeche and Edwards in 1960 [1]. Members of the genus were isolated mostly from the environment, in particular from plants and recognized as notorious plant pathogens, but were frequently isolated from hospitals, notably in healthcare associated infections and recognized as opportunistic pathogens [2,3]. As of Oct, 2014, a total of 116 Enterobacter strains have been sequenced and 29 genome sequences were published [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12], only one genome of E. mori isolated from diseased mulberry roots has been sequenced [13]. In order to elucidate comprehensive alkane degradation pathways and adaption mechanism in E. mori strain 5–4, whole-genome sequence analysis was conducted.
