AI Article Synopsis
- Exiguobacterium sp. strain S17 is a bacterium that can tolerate high salt and resist arsenic, found in the unique environment of Laguna Socompa stromatolites in Argentina.
- The draft genome sequence of this bacterium indicates the presence of important enzymes that help it survive harsh conditions like intense UV exposure and high salinity.
- This research highlights the potential of Exiguobacterium sp. strain S17 as a model for studying bacterial adaptations to extreme environments.
Article Abstract
Exiguobacterium sp. strain S17 is a moderately halotolerant, arsenic-resistant bacterium that was isolated from Laguna Socompa stromatolites in the Argentinian Puna. The draft genome sequence suggests potent enzyme candidates that are essential for survival under multiple environmental extreme conditions, such as high levels of UV radiation, elevated salinity, and the presence of critical arsenic concentrations.
