Complete genome analysis of type strain of a novel bacterial family Temperatibacteraceae fam. nov., isolated from surface seawater.

Novel bacterial resources are valuable for studying bacterial taxonomy, bacterial evolution, and genome mining of novel antibiotics, antitumor agents, and immune modulators. In this study, we de novo sequenced the type strain of a novel bacterial family, Temperatibacteraceae fam. Nov., belonging to class Alphaproteobacteria of phylum Pseudomonadota. The type strain, Temperatibacter marinus NBRC 110045, is mesophilic and was isolated from surface seawater around Muroto city of Japan at a depth of 0.5 m. Here, the sequenced complete genome of strain NBRC 110045 is composed of a circular chromosome of 3,184,799 bp with a mean G + C content of 43.71%. Genome analysis was applied to reveal the genetic basis of its cellular activities. Cellular regulation and signaling was analyzed to infer the regulatory mechanism of its limited growth temperature range. Genomic features of the novel family Temperatibacteraceae may expand our knowledge on environmental adaptation, genetic evolution and natural product discovery of marine bacteria.
