Genome sequence analysis reveals evidence of quorum-sensing genes present in Aeromonas hydrophila strain KOR1, isolated from a mangrove plant (Kandelia obovata)

Abstract

Aeromonas hydrophila strain KOR1, isolated from mangrove rhizosphere soil, has the ability to produce the quorum-sensing signal molecule. Here, we report the 4.78-Mb genome sequence of strain KOR1, and found its quorum-sensing encoding gene LuxR. The data will be crucial to understanding the quorum-sensing-dependent phenotypes of this bacterium.
