Draft genome sequence of Vitellibacter aquimaris D-24 T isolated from seawater

Abstract

Vitellibacter aquimaris D-24T (=KCTC 42708T = DSM 101732T), a halophilic marine bacterium, was isolated from seawater collected from Desaru beach, Malaysia. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of D-24T with a genome size of approximately 3.1 Mbp and G + C content of 39.93%. The genome of D-24T contains genes involved in reducing a potent greenhouse gas (N2O) in the environment and the degradation of proteinaceous compounds. Genome availability will provide insights into potential biotechnological and environmental applications of this bacterium.

Genomic Analysis to Elucidate the Lignocellulose Degrading Capability of a New Halophile Robertkochia solimangrovi

“…Halophiles are extremophiles that require salt for growth [ 1 ]. They are equipped with adaptive mechanisms to survive in harsh osmotic conditions [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Halophilic microorganisms can be found in coastal and open ocean environments such as marine waters, saline lakes, and mangrove forests [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ].…”

Genome sequence of an uncharted halophilic bacterium Robertkochia marina with deciphering its phosphate-solubilizing ability

“…Halophiles are highly specialized organisms that thrive in hypersaline environments [1,2]. They possess the ability to produce enzymes with high biotechnological potential including proteases, amylases, cellulases, lipases, and phosphatases for industrial applications [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. For instance, halophilic bacteria could enhance phosphate uptake by plants through solubilizing the insoluble phosphate into soluble forms by producing alkaline phosphatase [12].…”
