Project description:Strains belonging to the genus Carnobacterium are Gram-positive bacteria that are widely distributed in the environment. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of five Carnobacterium strains isolated from freshwater ponds located in Flanders, Belgium, and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 4000 platform.
Project description:Members of the carnobacteria have been extensively studied as probiotic cultures in aquacultures and protective cultures in seafood, diary, and meat. We report on the finished genome sequence of Carnobacterium sp. 17-4, which has been isolated from permanently cold seawater. The genetic information reveals a new circular bacteriocin biosynthesis cluster.
