Draft genome sequence of Exiguobacterium acetylicum GM-14 isolated from beans

The bacterial genus Exiguobacterium includes many versatile species isolated from diverse environments. This draft genome can serve as a fundamental tool for subsequent studies, including the design of specific primers for strain identification, and as a basis for comparative genomics.

Herein, we report the draft genome sequence of Exiguobacterium acetylicum GM-14, which was isolated from a conventionally grown bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) field located in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico. The nucleotide sequence of this genome was deposited into NCBI GenBank under accession number PRJNA 1,175,395. In this report, we introduce the entire genomic sequence of Exiguobacterium acetylicum GM-14, which is 3,139,301 bp long, with a 47.3% G + C content and 3,178 coding sequences (CDSs). The use of the Exiguobacterium acetylicum GM-14 genome to help analyse possible virulence genes will contribute to the development of control strategies.
