Draft Genome Sequence of the Bacterium Gordonia jacobaea , a New Member of the Gordonia Genus

Abstract

Gordonia jacobaea was isolated and characterized in the Department of Microbiology, University of Santiago de Compostela, in 2000. Here we present the draft genome sequence of this species, which will improve our understanding of the diversity and the relation of the cell wall proteins of G. jacobaea with other mycolata.

Efficient AntiMycolata Agents by Increasing the Lipophilicity of Known Antibiotics through Multicomponent Reactions

“…A total of 3 bacterial strains belonging to 3 different species of Mycolata were cultured for the study of the antimicrobial capacity of new synthetic molecules so called 7 and 9 series: Gordonia jacobaea MV-1 [12][13][14], Nocardia cyriacigeorgica (a clinical isolate; laboratory identification number: 13485883), and Mycobacterium abscessus abscessus (a clinical isolate gently provided by the Hospital de Bellvitge, Barcelona). To support certain experiments, bacterial strains Escherichia coli (ATCC 29552) and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29213) were also cultured.…”

“…G. jacobaea was described in Spain in 2000 [12]. Thereafter, its genome was sequenced and annotated by us [13] and we investigated some of their proteins forming channels through the mycolic acid level [14]. According to the results, the closest related species is G. sputi.…”
