Abstract

Abstract Arcanobacterium haemolyticum (ex MacLeanet al. 1946) Collinset al. 1983 is the type species of the genusArcanobacterium, which belongs to the familyActinomycetaceae . The strain is of interest because it is an obligate parasite of the pharynx of humans and farm animal; occasionally, it causes pharyngeal or skin lesions. It is a Gram-positive, nonmotile and non-sporulating bacterium. The strain described in this study was isolated from infections amongst American soldiers of certain islands of the North and West Pacific. This is the first completed sequence of a member of the genusArcanobacterium and the ninth type strain genome from the familyActinomycetaceae . The 1, 986, 154 bp long genome with its 1, 821 protein-coding and 64 RNA genes is a part of theG enomic E ncyclopedia of B acteria and A rchaea project.
