Abstract

Acidovorax citrulli is a causal agent for bacterial fruit blotch on watermelon. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of A. citrulli strain KACC17005. The genome contains 5,349,924 bp with G + C contents of 68.54%, including 4,520 protein coding genes in a circular chromosome. It also possesses at least 15 genes encoding putative type III effector proteins, which may contribute to promoting virulence in susceptible hosts or triggering immune responses in resistant hosts.

Acidovorax citrulli 병원세균은 수박에 과실썩음병을 일으킨다. 이 논문에서는 A. citrulli strain KACC17005 균주의 완전한 게놈 서열을 분석하여 보고한다. 게놈은 총 5,349,924 bp로 구성되어 있으며 G + C 함량이 68.54%이다. 단백질을 coding하는 유전자가 총 4,520개이고, 이들 중 적어도 15개의 유전자들은 감수성 식물에서 병원성을 증가시키거나 저항성 식물에서 면역반응을 유도하는데 중요한 제3형 effector 단백질을 코딩하고 있다.
