Genomic analysis of Oceanotoga teriensis strain UFV_LIMV02, a multidrug-resistant thermophilic bacterium isolated from an offshore oil reservoir.

ABSTRACT: Bacteria of the species Oceanotoga teriensis belong to the family Petrotogaceae, are Gram-negative bacilli, are moderately thermophilic and are included in the group of thiosulfate-reducing bacteria, being capable of significantly accelerating corrosion in metallic structures. However, no in-depth study on the genome, antibiotic resistance and mobile elements has been carried out so far. In this work, the isolation, phenotypic and genotypic characterization of the multi-resistant O. teriensis UFV_LIMV02 strain was carried out, from water samples from an offshore oil extraction platform in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). We determined that the isolate has a genome of 2 812 778 bp in size, with 26 % GC content, organized into 34 contigs. Genomic annotation using Rapid Annotatio
