AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers sequenced the genome of actinobacterial strain IMCC13023, found in arctic fjord seawater.
- Phylogenetic studies indicate a close relationship between this strain and "Candidatus Aquiluna rubra."
- The strain is identified as a photoheterotroph with actinorhodopsin, featuring the smallest genome recorded for a free-living Actinobacteria.
Article Abstract
We report the genome sequence of actinobacterial strain IMCC13023, isolated from arctic fjord seawater. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene showed that the strain is related to "Candidatus Aquiluna rubra." The genome information suggests that strain IMCC13023 is a photoheterotroph carrying actinorhodopsin, with the smallest genome ever reported for a free-living member of the Actinobacteria.

Article Synopsis
- Microbial rhodopsin is a simple light-capturing molecule that aids in energy production through light-driven proton pumping in certain bacteria, particularly those found in freshwater environments.
- The study isolated and characterized Actinorhodopsin (ActR-13023) from a specific strain, demonstrating its function as a proton pump when paired with natural pigments (carotenoids and retinal).
- The presence of genes related to ActR-13023 in the genome suggests these microorganisms naturally utilize solar energy, highlighting their role in the energy cycle of their ecosystems.
