Genome sequence of Blastococcus saxobsidens DD2, a stone-inhabiting bacterium

Bessem Chouaia et al. J Bacteriol. 2012 May.

Abstract

Members of the genus Blastococcus have been isolated from sandstone monuments, as well as from sea, soil, plant, and snow samples. We report here the genome sequence of a member of this genus, Blastococcus saxobsidens strain DD2, isolated from below the surface of a Sardinian wall calcarenite stone sample.
