Genome sequencing reveals insights into Serratia marcescens derived from Culex quinquefasciatus, suggesting evolutionary connections.
We report here the complete genome of a red-pigmented Serratia marcescens strain isolated from colony Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito excreta in New Jersey, U.S.A. The 4,947,975 bp circular chromosome encodes 4,711 genes. Homology searches suggest close relatedness to strain JW-CZ2, isolated from the soil rhizosphere in China.
