“…For the comparison between Nocardia species, the genomes of N. acidivorans NBRC 108247 (Kampfer et al., ), N. concava NBRC 100430 (Hirayama et al., ), N. crassostreae NBRC 100342 (Friedman et al., ), N. inohanensis NBRC 100128 (Kageyama, Yazawa, Nishimura, & Mikami, ), N. jejuensis NBRC 103114 (Lee, ), N. niigatensis NBRC 100131 (Kageyama et al., ), and N. yamanashiensis NBRC 100130 (Kageyama et al., ) were obtained from EzBioCloud. For comparison between N. seriolae strains, the genomes of the strains N‐2927 (Imajoh et al., ), U‐1 (Imajoh et al., ), and ZJ0503 (Xia et al., ) were also downloaded from EzBioCloud, and the nucleotide sequences from the strains SY‐24 (unpublished) and UTF1 (Yasuike et al., ) were downloaded from the NCBI genome database. For consistency of gene prediction and functional annotation of the analyzed genomes, the genome sequences of the strains SY‐24 and UTF1 were uploaded to the Whole Genome (WG) pipeline of BIOiPLUG (https://www.bioiplug.com, ChunLab Inc., Seoul, Republic of Korea) and quality‐controlled genome information was obtained.…”
