Draft Genome Sequences of 25 Mycobacterium marinum Strains Isolated from Animals and Environmental Components in Aquaria and an Aquaculture Farm

Abstract

Mycobacterium marinum is a ubiquitous nontuberculous mycobacterium that causes infections in various animals. Here, we report the annotated draft genome sequences of 25 strains isolated from vertebrates, invertebrates, and environmental components in aquaria and an aquaculture farm in Japan, sampled between 2015 and 2020.

Complete Genome and Partial Megaplasmid Sequences of Mycobacterium pseudoshottsii Strain NJB1907-Z4, Isolated from an Aquarium-Reared Japanese Sardine (Sardinops melanostictus) in Japan

“…Genomic DNA for Illumina sequencing was extracted from approximately 1.1 × 10 9 CFU of NJB1907-Z4 ( 8 ). The Illumina library was prepared using the Nextera XT DNA library preparation kit (Illumina, USA) and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq X instrument (2 × 150-bp format).…”
