dc.description.abstract |
The genus Pantoea incorporates many economically and clinically important species. The plant-associated species,
Pantoea agglomerans and Pantoea vagans, are closely related and are often isolated from similar environments.
Plasmids conferring certain metabolic capabilities are also shared amongst these two species. The genomes of two
isolates obtained from fungus-growing termites in South Africa were sequenced, assembled and annotated. A high
number of orthologous genes are conserved within and between these species. The difference in genome size
between P. agglomerans MP2 (4,733,829 bp) and P. vagans MP7 (4,598,703 bp) can largely be attributed to the
differences in plasmid content. The genome sequences of these isolates may shed light on the common traits that
enable P. agglomerans and P. vagans to co-occur in plant- and insect-associated niches. |
