Draft genome sequence of antimicrobial producing Paenibacillus alvei strain MP1 reveals putative novel antimicrobials.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

A Paenibacillus strain isolated in previous research exhibited antimicrobial activity against relevant human pathogens including Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes. In this study, the genome of the aforementioned strain, designated as MP1, was shotgun sequenced. The draft genome of strain MP1 was subject to multiple genomic analyses to taxonomically characterize it and identify the genes potentially responsible for its antimicrobial activity.

Results

Here we report the draft genome sequence of an antimicrobial producing Paenibacillus strain, MP1. Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) analysis established strain MP1 as a new strain of the previously characterized Paenibacillus alvei. The genomic analysis identified several putative secondary metabolite clusters including seven Nonribosomal Peptide Synthetase clusters (NRPS) (>?10,000 nt), one bacteriocin or other unspecified Ribosomally Synthesized and Post-Translationally modified Peptide Product (RiPP), one lanthipeptide, and six hybrid clusters (NRPS-Type I Polyketide synthase (T1PKS) and NRPS-trans Amino Transferase Polyketide Synthase (AT-PKS)).
