Complete genome sequence of Novosphingobium sp. strain BL-52-GroH shows unusual dual chromosome architecture

Novosphingobium sp. BL-52-GroH was isolated from soil at the University of Mississippi campus. This strain's nanopore-sequenced genome showed two circular megabase-length chromosomes and two plasmids. Annotation showed housekeeping genes on both chromosomes, marking this Novosphingobium strain as another example in the genus with dual chromosome architecture.
