We sequenced the Acinetobacter baumannii strain MSP4-16 genome from Indian mangrove soil. This draft genome provides insights into bacterial adaptation in unique environmental niches.
Area of Science:
- Microbiology
- Genomics
- Environmental Science
Background:
- Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen.
- Mangrove ecosystems harbor diverse microbial communities with unique genetic resources.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present the draft genome sequence of Acinetobacter baumannii strain MSP4-16.
- To characterize the genomic features of a strain isolated from a unique Indian mangrove environment.
Main Methods:
- Whole-genome sequencing of Acinetobacter baumannii strain MSP4-16.
- Bioinformatic analysis of the draft genome sequence.
Main Results:
- A 4.0-Mb draft genome sequence was obtained for strain MSP4-16.
- The genome comprises 3,944,542 bp with a G+C content of 39%.
- The genome contains 5,387 protein-coding genes and 69 RNAs.
Conclusions:
- The genome sequence of Acinetobacter baumannii strain MSP4-16 offers a valuable resource for studying bacterial adaptation.
