Draft Genome Sequence of Olsenella scatoligenes SK9K4T a Producer of 3-Methylindole (Skatole) and 4-Methylphenol (p-Cresol) Isolated from Pig Feces

摘要

Olsenella scatoligenes SK9K4^T is a strictly anaerobic bacterium isolated from pig feces that produces the malodorous compounds 3-methylindole (skatole) and 4-methylphenol (p-cresol). Here, we report the 2.47 Mbp draft genome sequence of SK9K4^T, exploring pathways for the synthesis of skatole and p-cresol from the amino acids tryptophan and tyrosine, respectively.
