Abstract

ABSTRACT Mycobacterium sp. strain shizuoka-1 is a rapidly growing scotochromogenic mycobacterium and was isolated from well water for a bathing facility in Shizuoka Prefecture in Japan. Here, we report the draft sequence of its genome, comprising a 6.5-Mb chromosome. This mycobacterium has 83.1% identity with Mycobacterium rhodesiae , a human pathogen.
