Complete genome sequences of α-glucosidase-positive and -negative strains of Nocardia seriolae from Seriola species in Japan

We report complete genome sequences of two strains of Nocardia seriolae, the causative agent of nocardiosis in fish. Strains KGN1266 (α-glucosidase-positive) and 024013 (α-glucosidase-negative) were isolated from Seriola dumerili and Seriola quinqueradiata, respectively. Whole genome sequences were hybrid-assembled using Oxford Nanopore long-read and BGI DNBseq short-read sequencing.
