AI Article Synopsis

  • A new strain of bacterium called SP3-1 was discovered in a hypersaline evaporation pond in Thailand, known for its ability to break down cellulose.
  • This is the first time the complete genome of SP3-1 has been sequenced, which measures 4,035,760 bases in length.
  • The genome includes several genes that code for enzymes capable of degrading cellulose, hemicellulose, starch, and producing bacteriocins.

Article Abstract

sp. strain SP3-1, a cellulose-degrading bacterium, was isolated from a hypersaline evaporation pond in Thailand. Here, we report the first complete genome sequence of strain SP3-1. This species has a genome size of 4,035,760 bases, and the genome contains several genes encoding cellulose, hemicellulose, starch-degrading enzymes, and bacteriocins.
