Complete genome sequence of the novel alginolytic Psychroserpens sp. NJDZO2 isolated from macroalgae collected from King George Island, Antarctica

摘要

The general features and genome characteristics of the alginolytic Psychroserpens sp. NJDZ02 isolated from macroalgae collected from King George Island, Antarctica, are described. The sequenced genome is composed of a 4,319,537 bp circular chromosome containing 3699 coding genes including 49 tRNAs and 6 rRNA operons as 16S-23S-5S rRNA. The NJDZ02 genome contains several alginate lyases, which correlate with the high capacity of the strain to degrade sodium alginate. Genome sequencing of NJDZ02 revealed gene candidates of potential interest for use in enzymatic industries or applications in the field of polysaccharide degradation.
