We report the 4,385,577-bp high-quality draft assembly of the bacterial symbiont Rhodococcus rhodnii strain LMG5362, isolated from the gut of Rhodnius prolixus (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae), the principle vector of the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. This sequence might provide useful information for subsequent studies of the symbiotic relationship between Rd. prolixus and Rc. rhodnii, while also providing a starting point for the development of biotechnological applications for the control of Rd. prolixus.
我们报告了从锥蝽(半翅目,猎蝽科,锥蝽亚科)肠道中分离出的红球菌属红球菌菌株LMG5362的4,385,577碱基对高质量草图组装结果。锥蝽是原生动物克氏锥虫的主要传播媒介,而克氏锥虫是恰加斯病的病原体。该序列可能为后续关于锥蝽与红球菌共生关系的研究提供有用信息,同时也为开发控制锥蝽的生物技术应用提供了一个起点。
