Draft Genome Sequence of the Radioresistant Bacterium Deinococcus grandis, Isolated from Freshwater Fish in Japan

Abstract

Deinococcus grandis is a radioresistant bacterium isolated from freshwater fish in Japan. Here we reported the draft genome sequence of D. grandis (4.1 Mb), which will be useful for elucidating the common principles of radioresistance in Deinococcus species through the comparative analysis of genomic sequences.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Radioresistant Bacterium Deinococcus aerius TR0125, Isolated from the High Atmosphere above Japan

“…Strain TR0125 exhibited much slower growth than some Deinococcus species (e.g., D. radiodurans , D. grandis , and D. geothermalis ) ( 4 ). This feature might be related to the fact that the strain TR0125 genome possesses only one rRNA operon as an important component for protein synthesis, although many Deinococcus bacteria possess multiple rRNA operons ( 8 , 9 ). The relationship between the number of rRNA operons and the cell growth rate in other bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli , has also been reported ( 10 , 11 ).…”

Associations between environmental characteristics, high-resolution indoor microbiome, metabolome and allergic and non-allergic rhinitis symptoms for junior high school students

“…Two potential risk species for rhinitis, D. gobiensis and D. grandis , were both extremely radiation-resistant bacteria. 60,61 These species are physically protected from the UV damage due to an efficient DNA repair system, 62 but no study reported their health effects on humans. E. fergusonii , A. enteropelogenes , E. xiangfangensis and S. salivarius , were protectively associated with rhinitis symptoms.…”

Complete Genome Sequence of a Radioresistant Bacterial Strain, Deinococcus grandis ATCC 43672

“…The mechanisms and relevant proteins of their DNA repair systems have been intensively studied (1–5). Deinococcus grandis is a radioresistant bacterium isolated from freshwater fish in Japan, and a draft genome sequence of this species was previously reported (6), which only used short-read (∼400 bp) next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. In this study, we report the complete genome sequence of D. grandis , obtained using a hybrid assembly strategy that combines short- and long-read technologies to generate de novo circular sequences.…”

“…The genome was automatically annotated using the DFAST pipeline (9), resulting in 3,977 coding sequences (CDSs). The third circular contig corresponds to three linear DNAs that were not linked in the previously reported draft genome (6). One of the circular contigs reported in the draft genome (accession number BCMS01000006) was lost this time.…”
