Abstract

Three Pseudomonas sp. strains isolated from marine sponges have shown potential quorum sensing inhibition (QSI) activity. We sequenced the draft genomes of the three strains with the goal of determining which genes or gene cluster(s) could be potentially involved in the QSI activity. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) and phylogenetic analysis classified the three strains as belonging to the Pseudomonas fluorescens species.
