Despite meticulous precautions, contamination of genomic DNA samples is not uncommon, which can significantly compromise the analysis of microorganisms' whole-genome sequencing data, thus affecting all subsequent analyses. Thanks to advancements in software and bioinformatics techniques, it is now possible to address this issue and prevent the loss of the entire dataset obtained in a contaminated whole-genome sequencing, where the DNA of another bacterium is present. In this study, it was observed that the sequencing reads from Streptomyces sp.

- Saline environments are home to diverse microorganisms known as extremophiles, which produce valuable natural compounds that help them survive harsh conditions.
- In Brazil's Areia Branca region, halotolerant bacteria were isolated from native plants, with 25 strains identified primarily belonging to Gram-positive families like Bacillaceae and Staphylococcaceae, and one Gram-negative from Pseudomonadaceae.
- These bacteria produced several biopolymers, including biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates and exopolysaccharides with potential biomedical applications, demonstrating their ability to thrive and generate useful compounds in high salt concentrations.
Herein, we report a draft genome sequence of the endophytic Curtobacterium sp. strain ER1/6, isolated from a surface-sterilized Citrus sinensis branch, and it presented the capability to control phytopathogens. Functional annotation of the ~3.
