Sphingomonas sp. gentR: Complete Genome Sequence of a Gentamicin-Resistant Bacterium

A 4.0 Mbp gap-free genome sequence of Sphingomonas sp. gentR, assembled from hybrid Illumina and Nanopore sequencing data. The dataset includes one chromosome, two plasmids, and 3,692 predicted coding sequences with functional annotation. Author Baosheng Liu published this resource on figshare in 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify antibiotic resistance genes based on the annotated presence of ANT(2″)-Ia, ANT(3″)-IIa, and Sul1.
• Study plasmid structure and genomic islands based on the co-localization of resistance genes on plasmid B.
• Analyze metabolic diversity and stress adaptation pathways based on the comprehensive functional annotation mentioned in the description.
• Investigate horizontal gene transfer events based on the plasmid-borne resistance island.

Strengths

• Complete, gap-free genome assembly of 4.0 Mbp.
• Hybrid assembly from Illumina and Nanopore sequencing data, which likely improves accuracy.
• Includes functional annotation for 3,692 coding sequences.
• Identifies three specific, confirmed antibiotic resistance genes.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single bacterial strain, limiting generalizability.
