Abstract

"Nocardia suismassiliense" strain S-137 isolated from Sus scrofa feces exhibits a 9.4-Mb (67.1% GC content) draft genome sequence containing 8,658 protein-coding genes, 66 tRNAs, and 9 rRNAs. In silico DNA-DNA hybridization confirmed strain S-137 as representative of a new species, "Nocardia suismassiliense," closely related to N. tenerifensis and N. brasiliensis.
