Massilia sp. are aerobic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria that are found in air, water, and soils. Here we describe the draft genome sequence of Massilia sp. KIM, isolated from the South African grassland soils. The total length of the genome was estimated at 5.73Mb, comprised of 17 contigs. The draft genome has been deposited in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession MVAD10000000 and is available...
Horizontally transferred genomic islands (islands, GIs) have been referred to as important factors which contribute towards bacterial evolution in general and particularly towards the emergences of pathogens and outbreak instances. The development of tools for identification of such elements and retracing their distribution will help to understand how such cases arise. Sequence composition has been...
The recurrent outbreaks of pathogens that possess new virulence factors and broad range antibiotic resistance gene cassettes reflect the importance of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in the evolution of pathogenic bacteria. In many cases, the establishment of pathogens is mediated by the mobile genetic islands (GIs) which can easily be interchanged between bacterial taxa inhabiting the same or different...
Important genes may flux among bacteria by horizontal transfer and trigger substantial evolutionary changes. Novel genome linguistic and visualization approaches helped to identify genomic islands in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and trace their origin down to alpha-Proteobacteria. The identified genomic islands are distinctive from prophage inserts common for Mycobacteria. Donor-recipient relationships...
