Genome sequence of Pseudoalteromonas flavipulchra JG1, a marine antagonistic bacterium with abundant antimicrobial metabolites

Abstract

The marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas flavipulchra JG1 can synthesize various antibacterial metabolites, including protein and small molecules. The draft genome of JG1 is about 5.36 Mb and harbors approximate 4,913 genes, which will provide further insight into the synthesis of antimicrobial agents and antagonistic mechanisms of P. flavipulchra against pathogens. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
