Permanent draft genome sequence of the gliding predator Saprospira grandis strain Sa g1 (= HR1)

چکیده
Saprospira grandis Gross 1911 is a member of the Saprospiraceae, a family in the class 'Sphingobacteria' that remains poorly characterized at the genomic level. The species is known for preying on other marine bacteria via 'ixotrophy'. S. grandis strain Sa g1 was isolated from decaying crab carapace in France and was selected for genome sequencing because of its isolated location in the tree of life. Only one type strain genome has been published so far from the Saprospiraceae, while the sequence of strain Sa g1 represents the second genome to be published from a non-type strain of S. grandis. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 4,495,250 bp long Improved-High-Quality draft of the genome with its 3,536 protein-coding and 62 RNA genes is a part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.

M any flagellated species of bacteria can swim in liquids and glide along surfaces, while motile species without flagella only can glide. Much is known about flagella, whose rotary mechanism is believed to be universal. By contrast, gliding motility is a term used to describe various movements on surfaces by several different mechanisms, none of which is fully understood. Saprospira grandis, me...

Cytophaga fermentans strain JCM 21142(T) is a marine-dwelling facultative anaerobe. The draft genome sequence of this strain revealed its diverse chemoorganotrophic potential, which makes it capable of metabolizing various polysaccharide substrates. The genome data will facilitate further studies on its taxonomic reclassification, its metabolism, and the mechanisms pertaining to bacterial gliding.
