Draft Genome Sequence of MKD8, a Conjugal Recipient Mycobacterium smegmatis Strain.

ABSTRACT: 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.
