Whole-genome sequence of fish-pathogenic Mycobacterium sp. strain 012931, isolated from yellowtail (Seriola quinqueradiata)

Abstract

The genus Mycobacterium comprises a large number of well-characterized species, several of which are human and animal pathogens. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of Mycobacterium sp. strain 012931, a fish pathogen responsible for huge losses in aquaculture farms in Japan. The strain was isolated from a marine fish, yellowtail (Seriola quinqueradiata).
