Genome sequences of undescribed Mycobacterium species isolated from northern snakeheads ( Channa argus ) inhabiting the Potomac River catchment

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT We present genomes of two previously undescribed Mycobacterium species, strains 213A and 216A, isolated from invasive Northern snakehead in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Average nucleotide identity below 91% and digital DNA–DNA hybridization under 70% indicate they represent distinct, unassigned species from a common host.
