Thauera aminoaromatica mutant raw sequence reads. Thauera aminoaromatica strain:MZ1T | isolate:20A mutant

Thauera aminoaromatica MZ1T, a floc forming bacteria, was originally isolated from an industrial wastewater treatment plant experiencing a prolonged episode of viscous bulking. we employ a ‘‘Phenotype Sequencing’’ approach in which mutations causing the phenotype can be identified directly from the sequencing of multiple independent mutant strains. In this study, flocculation mutants were created by chemical mutagenesis. The full genomes of two of these T. aminoaromatica strain MZ1T flocculation deficient mutants were sequenced using the Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine, an integrated semiconductor-based genome-scale DNA sequencer. The millions of short reads generated were mapped to the reference genome of wild type T. aminoaromatica MZ1T.
