sp. strain AC-23 was isolated from Kongsfjorden in the Arctic. Here, we report the first draft genome sequence of a putative novel species of the genus comprising 4,149,715 bp, with a mean G+C content of 54.4%. The draft genome sequence will aid in understanding the psychrophilic and sea ice-specific lifestyle.

Exploring the untapped potential of deep-sea microorganisms, particularly their cold-active enzymes, or psychrozymes, offers exciting possibilities for revolutionizing various aspects of the food processing industry. This review focuses on these enzymes, derived from the largely unexplored depths of the deep ocean, where microorganisms have developed unique adaptations to extreme conditions. Psychrozymes, as bioactive molecules, hold significant promise for food industry applications.

Article Synopsis
- Deep-sea bacteria thrive in extreme conditions like low light, high pressure, and nutrient scarcity, developing unique survival strategies in their habitat.
- This study investigated the biodiversity of these bacteria in Indonesian waters, specifically in the Makassar and Lombok Strait, using advanced DNA sequencing techniques to create a genomic database.
- Findings showed that bacteriological communities at station 48 and 50 were more similar than those at station 33, with the most common bacterial phyla being Proteobacteria and Firmicutes, alongside key genera that adapt to deep-sea environments.

Cytochromes c'-α are nitric oxide (NO)-binding heme proteins derived from bacteria that can thrive in a wide range of temperature environments. Studies of mesophilic Alcaligenes xylosoxidans cytochrome c'-α (AxCP-α) have revealed an unusual NO-binding mechanism involving both heme faces, in which NO first binds to form a distal hexa-coordinate Fe(II)-NO (6cNO) intermediate and then displaces the proximal His to form a proximal penta-coordinate Fe(II)-NO (5cNO) final product. Here, we characterize a thermally stable cytochrome c'-α from thermophilic Hydrogenophilus thermoluteolus (PhCP-α) to understand how protein thermal stability affects NO binding.

Article Synopsis
- Three psychrophilic bacteria strains (SQ149, SQ345, and S1-1) were isolated from deep-sea sediments in the South China Sea and showed high similarity to strain RZG4-3-1 based on 16S rRNA gene sequences (96.45 to 96.67%).
- Phylogenetic and genetic analyses indicated that these strains form a distinct cluster and represent novel species, as their genetic markers fall below the species delimitation thresholds.
- All strains are Gram-negative, rod-shaped, and contain specific fatty acids, respiratory quinones, and polar lipids, leading to their classification as new species within the genus, with proposed names for each strain.
