Project description:We determined the complete genome sequence of Sphingopyxis macrogoltabida strain 203N, a polyethylene glycol degrader. Because the PacBio assembly (285× coverage) seemed to be full of nucleotide-level mismatches, the Newbler assembly of MiSeq mate-pair and paired-end data was used for finishing and the PacBio assembly was used as a reference. The PacBio assembly carried 414 nucleotide mismatches over 5,953,153 bases of the 203N genome.
Project description:Sphingopyxis macrogoltabida strain 203, the type strain of the species, grew on polyethylene glycol (PEG) and has been deposited to the stock culture at the Biological Resource Center, National Institute of Technology and Evaluation (NITE), under the number NBRC 15033. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of strain NBRC 15033. Unfortunately, genes for PEG degradation were missing.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Gluconacetobacter xylinus NBRC 3288 delta-fnrG mutant, compared to the wild-type strain.
