Draft genomes of three Antarctic Psychrobacter strains producing antimicrobial compounds against Burkholderia cepacia complex, opportunistic human pathogens

Herein we present the draft genomes of three Psychrobacter strains isolated from Antarctic sponges and able to inhibit the growth of bacteria belonging to the Burkholderia cepacia complex, responsible for infections of the respiratory system in patients affected by Cystic Fibrosis. The comparative a...

Description
Summary:Herein we present the draft genomes of three Psychrobacter strains isolated from Antarctic sponges and able to inhibit the growth of bacteria belonging to the Burkholderia cepacia complex, responsible for infections of the respiratory system in patients affected by Cystic Fibrosis. The comparative analysis of the annotated genomes of these Psychrobacter strains highlighted their differences in terms of overall genomic content (e.g. shared gene sets) and allowed the identification of gene clusters hypothetically involved in the biosynthesis of antimicrobial compounds. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
