Strain 2745-2 is aerobic and rod-shaped with optimum growth at 42 ℃ and pH 5.5. We sequenced the genome and found a single chromosome of 4800175 bp, with a G＋C content of 57.63%. Sixty RNAs and 4737 protein-coding genes were identified： many of the genes are responsible for the degradation, emulsification, and metabolizing of crude oil. A comparative genomic analysis with related clinical strains （M86, 229E, and LMG3301T） showed that genes involved in virulence, disease, defense, phages, prophages, transposable elements, plasmids, and antibiotic resistance are also present in strain 2745-2.展开更多
