KBase Narrative - Complete genome sequence of a novel Microbacterium sp. strain Clip185.
We have isolated a new species of Microbacterium, an Actinobacterium. We have temporarily named this bacterium as Microbacterium sp. strain Clip185 (hereafter called strain Clip185) from a contaminated Tris-Acetate-Phosphate (TAP) medium culture plate of a green micro-alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii strain LMJ.RY0402.185141 (a Chlamydomonas Library project CLiP strain). We sequenced the whole genome of strain Clip185 using the PacBio Sequel II Continuous Long Read technology and have submitted it to NCBI along with the SRA and PacBio methylation motif data. Additionally, we have submitted the PacBio methylome to REBASE, Ref#35996. We present the whole genome sequence of this new Microbacterium species that offers insights into its coding and non-coding genes and its nearest taxonomic neighbors.
