Abstract
Draft genome sequences of Propionibacterium australiense isolates NML 98A072T and NML 98A078, derived from granulomatous lesions of infected bovines, were assembled and studied. Respectively, the genome sizes were 2.99 and 3.01 Mb, with G+C contents of 68.4% and 68.5%.
Highlights
In 2000, Forbes-Faulkner et al described a novel granulomatous infection in cattle that was associated with an unidentifiable Propionibacterium-like organism [1]
98A072T and 98A078 had average nucleotide identity values using BLASTϩ (ANIb) scores more than 99.6% similar to each other but only 73.56% to 84.11% similar to genomes from Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. freudenreichii DSM 20271T (GenBank accession number CP010341) and Propionibacterium acidifaciens DSM 21887T (GenBank accession number AUFR00000000), species selected from the genus Propionibacterium after emendation in 2016 [6]
NML98A072T was comprised of 2,996,433 bp, which assembled into 63 contigs with 82ϫ coverage, a GϩC content of 68.4%, and an N50 contig length of 138,977
Summary
In 2000, Forbes-Faulkner et al described a novel granulomatous infection in cattle that was associated with an unidentifiable Propionibacterium-like organism [1]. The genomes were compared to each other using JSpeciesWS to calculate the average nucleotide identity values using BLASTϩ (ANIb) [5]. 98A072T and 98A078 had ANIb scores more than 99.6% similar to each other but only 73.56% to 84.11% similar to genomes from Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. Freudenreichii DSM 20271T (GenBank accession number CP010341) and Propionibacterium acidifaciens DSM 21887T (GenBank accession number AUFR00000000), species selected from the genus Propionibacterium after emendation in 2016 [6].
