Composite Long- and Short-Read Sequencing Delivers a Complete Genome Sequence of B04Sm5, a Reutericyclin- and Mutanocyclin-Producing Strain of Streptococcus mutans
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: Streptococcus mutans strain B04Sm5 was recently described as utilizing reutericyclin, an acylated tetramic acid produced by the muc biosynthetic gene cluster, to inhibit the growth of neighboring commensal bacteria. Here, a complete genome sequence of B04Sm5 is reported.
