Whole-Genome Sequencing and Annotation of Exiguobacterium sp. RIT 452, an Antibiotic-Producing Strain Isolated from a Pond Located on the Campus of the Rochester Institute of Technology.

ABSTRACT: Exiguobacterium sp. RIT 452 is of biotechnological importance given its potential for antibiotic production. Bactericidal activity was detected using spent medium extract in a disk diffusion assay against Escherichia coli. The genome consists of 3,246 protein-coding sequences, including a variety of gene clusters involved in the synthesis of antibacterial compounds.
