Abstract:
We report the complete genome sequence and predicted functional profile of Nocardia iowensis DSM 45197T. N. iowensis DSM 45197T is a spore-forming, mesophilic, Gram-positive bacterium that was isolated from garden soil in Osceola, Iowa, USA. This organism has been exploited for its production of glycocinnamolyspermidine antibiotics and biotransformation of xenobiotic substances. Other significant features of N. iowensis DSM 45197T include the first fully characterized carboxylic acid reductase (CAR) and the first bacterial nitric oxide synthase system. The genome sequence of N. iowensis DSM 45197T can facilitate further understanding of its function, as well as the pathogenesis of Nocardia spp. N. iowensis DSM 45197T has a genome size of 8.95 Mbp; about 46% of the coding sequences have no known homologues and were labeled hypothetical proteins. This finding implies further potential for biomedical and biotechnological research applications.
