Draft Genome Sequences of Dysgonomonas sp. Strains BGC7 and HGC4, Isolated from the Hindgut of a Lower Termite

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Dysgonomonas spp. are facultative heterotrophs which colonize diverse environments, including the hindgut of the lower termite Reticulitermes flavipes . Dysgonomonas genomes are enriched for genes involving oligo- and polysaccharide utilization, enabling modification of a wide array of complex glycans. Here, we report draft genome sequences for Dysgonomonas sp. strains BGC7 and HGC4.
