Complete genome sequencing and analysis of Saprospira grandis str. Lewin, a predatory marine bacterium
نویسندگان
چکیده
Saprospira grandis is a coastal marine bacterium that can capture and prey upon other marine bacteria using a mechanism known as 'ixotrophy'. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of Saprospira grandis str. Lewin isolated from La Jolla beach in San Diego, California. The complete genome sequence comprises a chromosome of 4.35 Mbp and a plasmid of 54.9 Kbp. Genome analysis revealed incomplete pathways for the biosynthesis of nine essential amino acids but presence of a large number of peptidases. The genome encodes multiple copies of sensor globin-coupled rsbR genes thought to be essential for stress response and the presence of such sensor globins in Bacteroidetes is unprecedented. A total of 429 spacer sequences within the three CRISPR repeat regions were identified in the genome and this number is the largest among all the Bacteroidetes sequenced to date.

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

A draft genome sequence of Halobacteriovorax sp. strain JY17 was assembled from a metagenomic data set. The 3.47-Mbp genome of this unusual predatory bacterium contains 3,263 protein-coding sequences, 33 tRNAs, and 2 copies each of the 16S, 23S, and 5S rRNA genes. This is only the third sequenced representative of this genus.
