Abstract
Aminomonas paucivorans Baena et al. 1999 is the type species of the genus Aminomonas, which belongs to the family Synergistaceae. The species is of interest because it is an asaccharolytic chemoorganotrophic bacterium which ferments quite a number of amino acids. This is the first finished genome sequence (with one gap in a rDNA region) of a member of the genus Aminomonas and the third sequence from the family Synergistaceae. The 2,630,120 bp long genome with its 2,433 protein-coding and 61 RNA genes is a part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.
Highlights
Strain GLU-3T (= DSM 12260 = ATCC BAA-6) is the type strain of the species Aminomonas paucivorans, which in turn is the type and only species of the genus Aminomonas [1,2]
The 16S rRNA gene of A. paucivorans GLU-3T shares 96% sequence identity with that of the type strain of Thermanaerovibrio acidaminovorans, which was isolated from an upflow anaerobic sludge bed reactor of a sugar refinery, Breda, the Netherlands [3] (Figure 1), and 82.2-96.4% sequence identity with the type strains from the other members of the family Synergistaceae [11]
The sequences of the three 16S rRNA gene copies in the genome of A. paucivorans differ from each other by up to one nucleotide, and differ by up to eleven nucleotides from the previously published 16S rRNA sequence (AF072581), which contains 59 ambiguous base calls
Summary
Strain GLU-3T (= DSM 12260 = ATCC BAA-6) is the type strain of the species Aminomonas paucivorans, which in turn is the type and only species of the genus Aminomonas [1,2]. The generic name derives from the Latin word ‘aminum’ meaning ‘amine’ and the Greek word ‘monas’ meaning ‘a unit or monad’, referring to amine-degrading monads [2]. The species epithet is derived from the Latin word ‘paucus’ meaning ‘few or little’ and the Latin word ‘vorans’ meaning ‘digesting’, referring to digesting little [2]. Strain GLU-3T was isolated from anaerobic sludge of a dairy wastewater treatment plant in Santafé de Bogota, Colombia [2]. No further isolates have been obtained for A. paucivorans. We present a summary classification and a set of features for A. paucivorans GLU-3T, together with the description of the non-contiguous finished genomic sequencing and annotation
