Genome Announc. 2016 Nov 10;4(6):e01242-16. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.01242-16.

Abstract

Brevibacterium linens is one of the main bacteria found in the smear of surface-ripened cheeses. The genome of the industrial strain SMQ-1335 was sequenced using PacBio. It has 4,209,935 bp, a 62.6% G+C content, 3,848 open reading frames, and 61 structural RNAs. A new type I restriction-modification system was identified.
