Two Draft Genome Sequences of Chromobacterium violaceum Isolates from the Rio Negro
نویسندگان
چکیده
The draft genome sequences of two Chromobacterium violaceum strains isolated from the Rio Negro are reported here. These bacteria carry most genetic systems associated with the production of bioactive compounds, but unlike other C. violaceum strains, they lack a dedicated operon for arsenic resistance.

متن کاملDNA repair in Chromobacterium violaceum.
Chromobacterium violaceum is a Gram-negative beta-proteobacterium that inhabits a variety of ecosystems in tropical and subtropical regions, including the water and banks of the Negro River in the Brazilian Amazon. This bacterium has been the subject of extensive study over the last three decades, due to its biotechnological properties, including the characteristic violacein pigment, which has ...
متن کاملChromobacterium violaceum Pathogenicity: Updates and Insights from Genome Sequencing of Novel Chromobacterium Species
Chromobacterium violaceum is an abundant component of the soil and water microbiota in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. For many years, it was mainly known as a producer of violacein and as a reporter for the discovery of quorum sensing molecules. However, C. violaceum has recently emerged as an important model of an environmental opportunistic pathogen. Its high virulence in ...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Chromobacterium pseudoviolaceum LMG 3953T, an Enigmatic Member of the Genus Chromobacterium
Chromobacterium pseudoviolaceum LMG 3953T was separated from Chromobacterium violaceum in 2009, but little is known of its origin or environmental role. Here, the genome of LMG 3953T was sequenced to understand the evolution of the genus Chromobacterium It is not clear from this sequence that C. pseudoviolaceum is taxonomically distinct from C. violaceum.
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of a Violacein-Producing Iodobacter sp. from the Hudson Valley Watershed
Iodobacter species are among a number of freshwater Gram-negative violacein-producing bacteria. Janthinobacterium lividum and Chromobacterium violaceum have had their whole genomes sequenced and annotated. This is the first report of a draft whole-genome sequence of a violacein-producing Iodobacter strain that was isolated from the Hudson Valley watershed.
