The present study is aimed to determine the draft genome of novel species of Zooshikella strain S2.1, a potential red pigmented strain isolated recently from the coastal sediment of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. This Gram negative, rod shaped aerobic bacterium produces pink, yellowish-red and dark red with metallic green sheen pigmentation on agar plates. It is able to grow under NaCl concentrations of 1 to 9%. This species has antimicrobial, antioxidant, dye and food colorant applications. Whole genome sequence analysis revealed that strain S2.1 represents a novel species of the genus Zooshikella. Draft genome and 16 s rRNA sequences of this species were deposited in GenBank under the Sequence Read Archive accession number PRJNA514840 and GenBank number MK680108, respectively. Here we report the draft genome of Zooshikella sp. strain S2.1 with ~5.9 Mb of chromosomal content and ~0.34 Mb of extra-chromosomal content.
本研究旨在确定新型 Zooshikella 菌株 S2.1 的基因组草图，该菌株是最近从印度安达曼和尼科巴群岛的沿海沉积物中分离出来的一种潜在的红色色素菌株。这种革兰氏阴性、杆状需氧细菌在琼脂平板上产生粉红色、橙红色和暗红色，带有金属绿色光泽的色素。它能够在 NaCl 浓度为 1 到 9%的条件下生长。该物种具有抗菌、抗氧化、染色和食用色素的应用。全基因组序列分析表明，菌株 S2.1 代表 Zooshikella 属的一个新种。该物种的基因组草图和 16s rRNA 序列分别已在 GenBank 中以 PRJNA514840 和 MK680108 的序列读取档案编号和 GenBank 编号提交。在这里，我们报告了 Zooshikella sp. 菌株 S2.1 的基因组草图，其染色体内容约为 5.9Mb，染色体外内容约为 0.34Mb。
