The genome of the insecticidal Chromobacterium subtsugae PRAA4-1 and its comparison with that of Chromobacterium violaceum ATCC 12472

چکیده
The genome of Chromobacterium subtsugae strain PRAA4-1, a betaproteobacterium producing insecticidal compounds, was sequenced and compared with the genome of C. violaceum ATCC 12472. The genome of C. subtsugae displayed a reduction in genes devoted to capsular and extracellular polysaccharide, possessed no genes encoding nitrate reductases, and exhibited many more phage-related sequences than were observed for C. violaceum. The genomes of both species possess a number of gene clusters predicted to encode biosynthetic complexes for secondary metabolites; these clusters suggest they produce overlapping, but distinct assortments of metabolites.

A large number of Gram-negative, motile, mesophilic, violacein-producing bacteria were isolated from the soils and roots of Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait. and Kalmia angustifolia L. plants and from irrigation ponds associated with wild and cultivated cranberry bogs in Massachusetts, USA. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences placed these isolates in a clade with Chromobacterium species, ...
متن کاملIdentification of N-acyl-l-homoserine lactones produced by non-pigmented Chromobacterium aquaticum CC-SEYA-1T and pigmented Chromobacterium subtsugae PRAA4-1T
Many members of the genus Chromobacterium produce violacein, a characteristic purple pigment which is induced by small diffusible N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHL) quorum-sensing molecules. In this study, the production of AHL of the non-pigmented C. aquaticum CC-SEYA-1(T) and the pigmented C. subtsugae PRAA4-1(T) were determined by using a CV026 biosensor assay. The profile of AHL was identifie...

A yellow-coloured bacterial strain, designated BP-5(T), was isolated from a water sample of a cold spring located in the Hsinchu area of northern Taiwan. Cells of the strain were Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rods with a polar flagellum. The isolate was able to grow at 15-42 degrees C, 0-1 % NaCl and pH 6-8. The predominant fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C(16 : 1)omega7c and/or iso-C(15 ...
