Members of the genus Geobacillus have been isolated from a wide variety of habitats worldwide and are the subject for targeted enzyme utilization in various industrial applications. Here we report the isolation and complete genome sequence of the thermophilic starch-degrading Geobacillus sp. 12AMOR1. The strain 12AMOR1 was isolated from deep-sea hot sediment at the Jan Mayen hydrothermal Vent Site. Geobacillus sp. 12AMOR1 consists of a 3,410,035 bp circular chromosome and a 32,689 bp plasmid with a G + C content of 52 % and 47 %, respectively. The genome comprises 3323 protein-coding genes, 88 tRNA species and 10 rRNA operons. The isolate grows on a suite of sugars, complex polysaccharides and proteinous carbon sources. Accordingly, a versatility of genes encoding carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZy) and peptidases were identified in the genome. Expression, purification and characterization of an enzyme of the glycoside hydrolase family 13 revealed a starch-degrading capacity and high thermal stability with a melting temperature of 76.4 °C. Altogether, the data obtained point to a new isolate from a marine hydrothermal vent with a large bioprospecting potential.

GtfC-type 4,6-α-glucanotransferase (α-GT) enzymes from Glycoside Hydrolase Family 70 (GH70) are of interest for the modification of starch into low-glycemic index food ingredients. Compared to the related GH70 GtfB-type α-GTs, found exclusively in lactic acid bacteria (LAB), GtfCs occur in non-LAB, share low sequence identity, lack circular permutation of the catalytic domain, and feature a single-segment auxiliary domain IV and auxiliary C-terminal domains. Despite these differences, the first crystal structure of a GtfC, GbGtfC-ΔC from 12AMOR1, and the first one representing a non-permuted GH70 enzyme, reveals high structural similarity in the core domains with most GtfBs, featuring a similar tunneled active site.

4,6-α-Glucanotransferases (4,6-α-GTs) convert amylose V into two types of differently structured products: a linear product connected by continuous α,1 → 6 bonds, such as isomalto/malto-polysaccharide (IMMP), and a highly branched product connected by alternating α,1 → 4 and α,1 → 6 bonds, such as reuteran-like polysaccharide (RLP). The synthesis process of 4,6-α-GT products is unclear, and exploring this process is significant for producing dietary fibers with potential applications. This study identified and expressed sp.
