Project description:The complete genome sequence of "Candidatus Puniceispirillum marinum" IMCC1322, the first cultured representative of the SAR116 clade in the Alphaproteobacteria, is reported here. The genome contains genes for proteorhodopsin, aerobic-type carbon monoxide dehydrogenase, dimethylsulfoniopropionate demethylase, and C(1) compound metabolism. The genome information proposes the SAR116 group to be metabolic generalists in ocean nutrient cycling.
Project description:The purpose of this study is to elucidate the proteorhodopsin function based on the genome of strain IMCC1322 which was cultivated species of SAR116 from East Sea of Korea. Light-enhanced photoheterotrophy of strain IMCC1322 is interrogated by the transcriptomics of IMCC1322 once the appropriate phenotypic characteristics are revealed by cultivation and polyphasic studies. Transcriptome revealed that green light (max. wavelength =522nm) drives metabolism and cessation of bacterial aging of IMCC1322. Here we report the mRNA profiling of IMCC1322 which is the first effort to the biogeochemistry of light-utilizing SAR116 group in the ocean.
Project description:Two novel methanesulfonate-degrading bacterial strains of "Candidatus Filomicrobium marinum" (strains Y and W) were isolated from a marine water enrichment, and their complete genome sequences are presented here. These are the first full genomes reported for the genus Filomicrobium and for methanesulfonate (MSA)-degrading bacteria.
