Abstract

Myxobacteria are a source of unique metabolites, including corallopyronin A (CorA), a promising antibiotic agent in preclinical development for the treatment of filariasis. To investigate the production of CorA on the genetic level, we present the complete 9.6-Mb genome sequence of the CorA producer Corallococcus coralloides B035.
