Genome Sequences of Serratia Strains Revealed Common Genes in Both Serratomolides Gene Clusters.

ABSTRACT: Serratia strains are ubiquitous microorganisms with the ability to produce serratomolides, such as serrawettins. These extracellular lipopeptides are described as biocides against many bacteria and fungi and may have a nematicidal activity against phytopathogenic nematodes. Serrawettins W1 and W2 from different strains have different structures that might be correlated with distinct genomic organizations. This work used comparative genomics to determine the distribution and the organization of the serrawettins biosynthetic gene clusters in all the 84 publicly available genomes of the Serratia genus. The serrawettin W1 and W2 gene clusters' organization was established using antiSMASH software and compared with single and short data previously described for YD25^T
