The draft genome of Staphylococcus warneri TRPF4, a bacteriocin producer with potent activity against the causative agent of Legionnaires' Disease.

ABSTRACT: In this work, we present the draft genome sequence of Staphylococcus warneri strain TRPF4 consisting of 2,634,550 bp with a G + C content of 32.4%. The genome sequence includes 2466 protein-coding genes, 11 rRNAs and 62 tRNAs, in 33 contigs. Applying the Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology (RAST) a total of 1322 protein-coding genes were assigned to 393 subsystems. Also, a set of 1286 protein-coding genes with designated functions were assigned to 21 categories in the Cluster of Orthologous Groups (COG) database. Further analysis of BAGEL3 software demonstrated that the TRPF4 genome contains two gene clusters responsible for the synthesis of three bacteriocins, one warnericin RK and two delta-lysins. Besides, a novel delta-lysin of 3.48 kDa was identified for the first time.
