Draft Genome Sequence of MKD8, a Conjugal Recipient Mycobacterium smegmatis Strain
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report an annotated draft genome sequence of the Mycobacterium smegmatis strain MKD8. This strain acts as a recipient during conjugation with the reference M. smegmatis strain mc(2)155. While the genomes of the two strains are colinear and have similar sizes, extensive genome-wide sequence variation suggests rich diversity within the M. smegmatis clade.

Draft Genome Sequence of mc251, a Highly Hydrogen Peroxide-Resistant Mycobacterium smegmatis Mutant Strain
Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis-like Mycobacterium smegmatis mutant strain, mc(2)51, compared to that of wild-type strain M. smegmatis mc(2)155. The draft genome sequence comprises 6,823,739 bp, revealing 6,569 coding DNA sequences (CDSs) and 50 RNA genes (4 rRNA genes and 46 tRNA genes).
متن کاملThe Mycobacterium phlei Genome: Expectations and Surprises
Mycobacterium phlei, a nontuberculosis mycobacterial species, was first described in 1898-1899. We present the complete genome sequence for theM. phlei CCUG21000(T)type strain and the draft genomes for four additional strains. The genome size for all five is 5.3 Mb with 69.4% Guanine-Cytosine content. This is ≈0.35 Mbp smaller than the previously reported M. phlei RIVM draft genome. The size di...
متن کاملMycobacterial biofilms facilitate horizontal DNA transfer between strains of Mycobacterium smegmatis.
Conjugal transfer of chromosomal DNA between strains of Mycobacterium smegmatis occurs by a novel mechanism. In a transposon mutagenesis screen, three transfer-defective insertions were mapped to the lsr2 gene of the donor strain mc(2)155. Because lsr2 encodes a nonspecific DNA-binding protein, mutations of lsr2 give rise to a variety of phenotypes, including an inability to form biofilms. In t...
متن کاملLpqM, a mycobacterial lipoprotein-metalloproteinase, is required for conjugal DNA transfer in Mycobacterium smegmatis.
We have previously described a novel conjugal DNA transfer process that occurs in Mycobacterium smegmatis. To identify donor genes required for transfer, we have performed a transposon mutagenesis screen; we report here that LpqM, a putative lipoprotein-metalloproteinase, is essential for efficient DNA transfer. Bioinformatic analyses predict that LpqM contains a signal peptide necessary for th...
متن کاملGenomic Sequence of Mycobacteriophage OKCentral2016
OKCentral2016 is the first mycobacteriophage sequenced from Oklahoma soil using the bacterial host Mycobacterium smegmatis strain mc2155. OKCentral2016 has a double-stranded DNA genome composed of 50,072 bp, with 84 predicted coding genes and 1 tRNA sequence. This mycobacteriophage has sequence similarities to members of the A10 subcluster.
