Complete Genome Sequence of Paenibacillus strain Y4.12MC10, a Novel Paenibacillus lautus strain Isolated from Obsidian Hot Spring in Yellowstone National Park

Abstract

Paenibacillus sp.Y412MC10 was one of a number of organisms isolated from Obsidian Hot Spring, Yellowstone National Park, Montana, USA under permit from the National Park Service. The isolate was initially classified as a Geobacillus sp. Y412MC10 based on its isolation conditions and similarity to other organisms isolated from hot springs at Yellowstone National Park. Comparison of 16 S rRNA sequences within the Bacillales indicated that Geobacillus sp.Y412MC10 clustered with Paenibacillus species, and the organism was most closely related to Paenibacillus lautus. Lucigen Corp. prepared genomic DNA and the genome was sequenced, assembled, and annotated by the DOE Joint Genome Institute. The genome sequence was deposited at the NCBI in October 2009 (NC_013406). The genome of Paenibacillus sp. Y412MC10 consists of one circular chromosome of 7,121,665 bp with an average G+C content of 51.2%. Comparison to other Paenibacillus species shows the organism lacks nitrogen fixation, antibiotic production and social interaction genes reported in other paenibacilli. The Y412MC10 genome shows a high level of synteny and homology to the draft sequence of Paenibacillus sp. HGF5, an organism from the Human Microbiome Project (HMP) Reference Genomes. This, combined with genomic CAZyme analysis, suggests an intestinal, rather than environmental origin for Y412MC10.

Structural and biochemical properties of a novel pullulanase of Paenibacillus lautus DSM 3035

“…The ExPASy compute pI/Mw program algorithm estimated the molecular weight and the pI value of Pul PL was 87.9 kDa and 5.16, respectively. Although Paenibacillus species are well known for their ability to secrete kinds of useful extracellular enzymes , there are few reports of Paenibacillus pullulanase, and no report of P. lautus pullulanase including wild strain and recombinant strain. There was only one pullulanase gene report from Paenibacillus spp.…”

“…Although many pullulanase genes from Bacillus spp. have been cloned and sequenced, pullulanase in Paenibacillus is underreported . Castro et al .…”

“…Isolation, Growth Conditions, and DNA Isolation G. thermoglucosidasius Y4.1MC1 (Y4.MC1) was isolated from a sample of hot spring water by enrichment and plating on YTP-2 medium at 70°C [13] and maintained on tryptic soy broth without glucose (TSB) (Difco) agar plates. The culture is freely available from the Bacillus Genetic Stock Center (BGSC; www.bgsc.org).…”

Potential of Chemolitotrophic Bacteria From Gold Mining Area in Sulfur Oxidation Process

“…G1. This bacterium is a type of bacteria that has a wide enough habitat and is often found in the soil, Gram-positive bacteria with stem-shaped cells and are chemoorganotrophic bacteria (Mead et al, 2012). Experiment with Bl-1 isolate detected decreasing concentration of sulfate compound in a medium, apparently, this bacterium was sulfate-reducing bacterium.…”
