Draft genome sequence of Metabacillus indicus strain EGFCL74 isolated from spontaneously fermented apple cider

Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome and annotations for Metabacillus indicus strain EGFCL74, a bacterium isolated from spontaneously fermented apples. This 4.10-Mb genome adds to the limited existing data on a potential spoilage organism in natural cider ferments.

Keywords: Metabacillus indicus; cider; fermentation.

Evolutionary relationship of isolate to other sequenced genomes. The phylogenetic tree was constructed by estimating the maximum likelihood of phylogeny based on concatenated multiple sequence alignments of 49 core, universal genes defined by Clusters of Orthologous Groups in 30 closely related genomes plus 3 publicly available Metabacillus genomes. The initial tree was constructed in the Kbase “Insert_Genome_into_SpeciesTree” function v2.2.0 and FastTree2 v2.1.10 (10). The tree was edited with the apple-associated Bacillus megaterium as the outgroup using FigTree 1.4.4 (http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/figtree/).
