Genome sequence of the squalene-degrading bacterium Corynebacterium terpenotabidum type strain Y-11T (= DSM 44721T)

摘要

Takeuchi et. al 1999 is a member of the genus , which contains Gram-positive and non-spore forming bacteria with a high G+C content. was isolated from soil based on its ability to degrade squalene and belongs to the aerobic and non-hemolytic Corynebacteria. It displays tolerance to salts (up to 8%) and is related to involved in cheese ripening. As this is a type strain of , this project describing the 2.75 Mbp long chromosome with its 2,369 protein-coding and 72 RNA genes will aid the >Genomic >Encyclopedia of >Bacteria and > project.
