Draft Genome Sequence of Comamonas aquatilis Strain LK (= CSUR P6418 = CECT 9772), Isolated from the Planarian Schmidtea mediterranea.

ABSTRACT

Comamonas aquatilis was defined as a new Comamonas species based on its 16S rRNA sequence, but the genome from the type strain SB30-Cr27-3T (= CIP 111491T = CCM 8815T) is not available. We have cultivated from the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea a Comamonas aquatilis strain, LK (= CSUR P6418 = CECT 9772), that exhibits 100% 16S rRNA sequence similarity to strain SB30-Cr27-3T We have sequenced the genome of strain LK and obtained a chromosome of 4,899,818 bp, with a G+C content of 61.75%, assembled into two contigs.
