Résumé
A Gram-positive bacterium designated as strain ORF15-23 was isolated from a soil sample collected from rainfed organic paddy fields in Roi Et province, Thailand. This strain is previously reported to produce indole-3-acetic acid and 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP) compound, solubilize potassium feldspar and promote growth of rice seedlings. The genome sequencing was carried out using Illumina MiSeq platform. The draft genome of strain ORF15-23 was 2,562,005 bp in length with 1677 protein coding sequences and an average G + C content of 72.97 mol.%. Phylogenomic tree supports the assignment of strain ORF15-23 as member of the genus Micrococcus. A comparison of average nucleotide identity (ANIb) values revealed that strain ORF15-23 shared 96.95 % identity with the genome of M. yunnanensis DSM 21948(T). The draft genome sequence of M. yunnanesis ORF15-23 has been deposited in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases under the accession number JAZDRZ000000000. This genome sequence data provides insightful information for the taxonomic characterization and further biotechnological exploitation of M. yunnanesis ORF15-23.
