Draft genome sequence of Mycobacterium sp. SA01 isolated from Sporobolus alterniflorus seedlings collected in Cape Cod (USA).

Abstract

A draft genome was generated for a strain of Mycobacterium closely related to Mycobacterium sp. ENV421 isolated in vitro from plants of smooth cordgrass germinated in vitro from seeds collected in a salt marsh in Cape Cod (USA). Genomic DNA was sequenced using paired-end Illumina technologies. Here, we report the classification and genome statistics of Mycobacterium sp. SA01. A strain of Mycobacterium was isolated from seedlings of Sporobolus alterniflorus germinated under in vitro conditions after surface sterilization. The seeds were collected in Little Swippewisett Marsh, Barnstable, MA, USA.
