Mycobacterium tuberculosis K, a member of the Beijing family, was first identified in 1999 as the most prevalent genotype in South Korea among clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis from high school outbreaks. M. tuberculosis K is an aerobic, non-motile, Gram-positive, and non-spore-forming rod-shaped bacillus. A transmission electron microscopy analysis displayed an abundance of lipid bodies in the cytosol. The genome of the M. tuberculosis K strain was sequenced using two independent sequencing methods (Sanger and Illumina). Here, we present the genomic features of the 4,385,518-bp-long complete genome sequence of M. tuberculosis K (one chromosome, no plasmid, and 65.59 % G + C content) and its annotation, which consists of 4194 genes (3447 genes with predicted functions), 48 RNA genes (3 rRNA and 45 tRNA) and 261 genes with peptide signals.
结核分枝杆菌K属于北京家族,1999年首次被鉴定为韩国高中结核病暴发临床分离株中最常见的基因型。结核分枝杆菌K是一种需氧、无运动性、革兰氏阳性、不形成芽孢的杆状杆菌。透射电子显微镜分析显示胞质溶胶中有大量脂质体。采用两种独立的测序方法(桑格测序法和Illumina测序法)对结核分枝杆菌K菌株的基因组进行了测序。在此,我们展示了结核分枝杆菌K的4385518bp长的完整基因组序列(一条染色体,无质粒,G+C含量为65.59%)的基因组特征及其注释,该基因组由4194个基因(3447个具有预测功能的基因)、48个RNA基因(3个rRNA和45个tRNA)和261个具有肽信号的基因组成。
