Genomic information of Kocuria isolates from sake brewing process.

ABSTRACT: Bacteria belonging to the genus Kocuria were identified as bacteria peculiar to a sake brewery in Toyama, Japan. Comparison of the 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed two groups of Kocuria isolates. Among known species, one group was similar to K. koreensis (Kk type), and the other, K. uropygioeca (Ku type). We determined complete genomic DNA sequences from two isolates, TGY1120_3 and TGY1127_2, which belong to types Kk and Ku, respectively. Comparison of these genomic information showed that these isolates differ at the species level with different genomic characters. Isolate TGY1120_3 comprised one chromosome and three plasmids, and the same transposon coding region was located on two loci on the chromosome and one locus on one plasmid
