AI Article Synopsis
- - Lysobacter sp. strain A03 is a type of bacteria that can break down proteins and was found in penguin feathers in Antarctica.
- - This strain can effectively degrade keratin, a tough protein, even in low temperatures.
- - The genome of A03 offers insights into discovering new genes that could be useful in biotechnology, especially in understanding how it survives in cold climates.
Article Abstract
Lysobacter sp. strain A03 is a protease-producing bacterium isolated from decomposing-penguin feathers collected in the Antarctic environment. This strain has the ability to degrade keratin at low temperatures. The A03 genome sequence provides the possibility of finding new genes with biotechnological potential to better understand its cold-adaptation mechanism and survival in cold environments.
