Whole genome sequencing and genome annotation of Dermacoccus abyssi strain HZAU 226 isolated from spoiled eggs.

Abstract Dermacoccus abyssi strain HZAU 226 is a spoilage bacteria isolated from eggs. So far, there are still few genomic resources available on the Dermacoccus abyssi. Here, we reported the complete genome sequence of Dermacoccus abyssi strain HZAU 226. High-quality DNA was extracted using the Qiagen kit, then single-molecule sequencing was performed by GridION sequencer. The raw data was quality-controlled and assembled to obtain the final genome, which consisted of a complete genome of 2,992,060 bp circular chromosome and a 64,524 bp plasmid. The structural and functional annotations of the genome were achieved through the analysis of different available databases, including antibiotic resistance genes, secondary metabolite synthesis genes and stress-related genes. Meanwhile, comparative genomic analyses of the strains were also performed. This is the first report on the complete genome of Dermacoccus abyssi, which will provide genomic resources for the study of spoilage bacteria in eggs
