Draft Genome Sequence of Xanthobacter tagetidis ATCC 700314 ^T

Abstract

Xanthobacter tagetidis is a thiophene-degrading bacterium associated with root balls of the plant genus Tagetes, which includes marigolds. It is a Gram-negative facultatively autotrophic bacterium with pleomorphic morphology exhibiting bent and branching rods. From strain TagT2CT (= ATCC 700314T), we report a genome assembly of 4,945,221 bp and a 69.5% G+C content.

Draft Genome Sequence of Xanthobacter aminoxidans ATCC BAA-299 T

“…Additionally, X. aminoxidans , like other Xanthobacter species, is capable of fixing N 2 under low-oxygen conditions ( 10 , 12 ). While some Xanthobacter strains have been sequenced ( 12 , 15 – 17 ), X. aminoxidans was still not sequenced, which led to the sequencing effort described below.…”
