title: Draft genome sequence and detailed analysis ofPantoea eucrinastrain Russ and implication for opportunistic pathogenesis.
abstract: The genusPantoeais a predominant member of host-associated microbiome. We here report on the genomic analysis ofPantoea eucrinastrain Russ that was isolated from a trashcan at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK. The draft genome ofPantoea eucrinastrain Russ consists of 3,939,877 bp of DNA with 3704 protein-coding genes and 134 RNA genes. This is the first report of a genome sequence of a member ofPantoea eucrina. Genomic analysis revealed metabolic versatility with genes involved in the metabolism and transport of all amino acids as well as glucose, fructose, mannose, xylose, arabinose and galactose, suggesting the organism is a versatile heterotroph. The genome also encodes an extensive secretory machinery including types I, II, III, IV, and Vb secretion systems, and several genes for pili production including the new usher/chaperone system (pfam 05,229). The implications of these systems for opportunistic pathogenesis are discussed.
