Draft genome sequence of Flavobacterium aquidurense strain, isolated from untreated wastewater

Full text loading... Abstract Here, we report the draft 5.8 Mb genome sequence of a Flavobacterium aquidurense isolate from untreated wastewater in Liverpool, UK. The reported isolate has the potential to produce both flexirubin and β-carotene pigments, and contains an additional biosynthetic gene cluster for a putative novel β-lactone. The genome also contains a gene for a putative β-lactamase blaJOHN-1 analogue and there are multiple copies of a putative novel insertion sequence of the IS3 family. This genome adds to a growing resource of Flavobacterium spp. sequencing data which can be utilized to investigate microbial pigment production, antimicrobial resistance genes and mobile genetic elements within this genus. - Received: - Version Posted: Funding - UK Research and Innovation (Award SIPF36348) - Principal Award Recipient: Adam P.
