Article Synopsis
- The study sequenced and analyzed the genome of the UVC-resistant Antarctic bacterium Hymenobacter sp. UV11, which has a size of 6,096,246 bp, a GC content of 60.6%, and 5,155 predicted genes.
- Secretome analysis revealed that strain UV11 produces extracellular enzymes with potential biotechnological applications, along with structures like outer membrane vesicles and carbon-storage compounds observed through electron microscopy.
- The genome contains genes related to the metabolism of glycogen and starch, as well as the biosynthesis of carotenoids like xanthophyll, and includes mechanisms for repairing UV-damaged DNA, enhancing its resilience in harsh environments.
