Draft Genome Sequence of Dietzia maris DSM 43672, a Gram-Positive Bacterium of the Mycolata Group

Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Dietzia maris, known previously as Rhodococcus maris. It is 3,505,372 bp in size with a G+C content of 73%. The draft genome sequence will improve our understanding of Dietzia maris related to other mycolata species and constitutes a basic tool for exploring the cell wall proteins.

Complete Genome Sequence of Dietzia sp. Strain WMMA184, a Marine Coral-Associated Bacterium

“…To date, there have been only 14 Dietzia assemblies deposited in GenBank that are representative of organisms isolated from widely varied environments ( 10 – 20 ); some of these represent significant human pathogens or candidate pathogens ( 10 , 13 , 15 – 18 ). Marine-derived Dietzia representatives are well-known, although only two, Dietzia alimentaria 72 T from the Korean seafood jeotgal ( 19 ), and Dietzia sp.…”
