title: Complete genome sequence of the heavy metal resistant bacteriumAgromyces aureusAR33Tand comparison with relatedActinobacteria.
abstract: Agromyces aureusAR33Tis a Gram-positive, rod-shaped and motile bacterium belonging to theMicrobacteriaceaefamily in the phylumActinobacteriathat was isolated from a former zinc/lead mining and processing site in Austria. In this study, the whole genome was sequenced and assembled combining sequences obtained from Illumina MiSeq and Sanger sequencing. The assembly resulted in the complete genome sequence which is 4,373,124 bp long and has a GC content of 70.1%. Furthermore, we performed a comparative genomic analysis with other related organisms: 6Agromycesspp., 4Microbacteriaceaespp. and 2 other members of the classActinobacteria.
