Complete genome sequence of Planococcus donghaensis JH1(T), a pectin-degrading bacterium

摘要

The type strain Planococcus donghaensis JH1(T) is a psychrotolerant and halotolerant bacterium with starch degrading ability. Here, we determine the carbon utilization profile of P. donghaensis JH1(T) and report the first complete genome of the strain. This study revealed the strain's ability to utilize pectin and n-galacturonic acid, and identified genes responsible for degradation of the polysaccharides. The genomic information provided may serve as a fundamental resource for full exploration of the biotechnological potential of P. donghaensis JH1(T).
