Abstract:
We report the draft genome sequence of Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis Y5 isolated from a glycerol stock prepared from a fungal culture from the gill of the lucinid bivalve, Stewartia floridana . This bacterial strain is gram-positive, coccus-shaped, and citrate-positive. Its draft genome of 3.3 Mb was assembled with 100% completeness, comprising 11 contigs and 2,937 protein-coding genes. Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis Y5 shared 98.9% average nucleotide identity (ANI) with its closest genome relative, D. nishinomiyaensis CTOTU46710 assembled from an urban metagenome. Further investigation is needed to identify the source and pathogenicity of D. nishinomiyaensis Y5.
