# Complete genome sequence of Sporosarcina sp. GTC18466 isolated from a snake in Japan

## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of a newly identified Sporosarcina species found on a snake in Japan.

## Contribution

The study provides the first complete genome sequence of a Sporosarcina species isolated from a snake.

## Key findings

- The genome is a circular chromosome of 3,223,418 base pairs.
- The organism was isolated from a snake skin in Japan.

## Abstract

The genus Sporosarcina belongs to the family Caryophanaceae within the class Bacilli. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a Sporosarcina species obtained from a snake skin in Japan. The genome comprised a circular chromosome measuring 3,223,418 bp in length.
