Draft Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium sp. Strain shizuoka-1, a Novel Mycobacterium Isolated from Groundwater of a Bathing Facility in Shizuoka, Japan.

ABSTRACT

Mycobacterium sp. strain shizuoka-1 is a rapidly growing scotochromogenic mycobacterium and was isolated from well water for a bathing facility in Shizuoka Prefecture in Japan. Here, we report the draft sequence of its genome, comprising a 6.5-Mb chromosome. This mycobacterium has 83.1% identity with Mycobacterium rhodesiae, a human pathogen.
